Spring Symposium - Database Systems 2026

LLMs are currently used in many areas of database technology. Their areas of application are very diverse and include design tasks, programming, query generation, optimisation, data integration and much more. The results are often remarkably good and surprisingly accurate. However, all application areas have one important limitation in common: we cannot yet rely on the results of LLMs to be completely trustworthy, reproducible or stable in the long term.

This means that LLMs are very well suited for building prototypes, but not yet for developing robust systems suitable for industrial use. This challenge will be the focus of the spring meeting of the GI specialist group on database systems. The following three aspects will be at the centre of the spring symposium.
