Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing how we work, make decisions, and define success. But when AI or any new technology suggests something unexpected, how do you react? The answer is shaped more by your experiences than the technology itself and more to do with your Data Biography — the sum of your experiences, reactions, and assumptions about data that shape how you engage with new innovations. By understanding your data biography, you can improve your adaptability, enhance decision-making, and ensure you control new technologies — rather than letting them control you.

The concepts of taxonomy and folksonomy hold significant implications, especially in the context of emerging technologies like OpenAI. While traditional taxonomies offer structured hierarchies of knowledge, allowing for a systematic approach to information organization, folksonomies represent a more fluid and emergent way of categorizing information based on user-generated tags and metadata.
However, the challenge arises when technological advancements fail to incorporate divergent thinking and promote groupthink through convergent taxonomies. This phenomenon is particularly evident in language models, where developers' linguistic and cultural biases can influence the interpretation and representation of (the dominant) language.

The transition from traditional spreadsheets to sophisticated data management and analysis algorithms represents a significant evolution that has revolutionized how businesses process and leverage information. Algorithms have reshaped the landscape of data-driven decision-making. Facebook's filter bubble is an early example of a machine learning system individualizing the user experience based on user patterns.
