Towards automated data analysis: A guided framework for LLM-based risk estimation

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly integrated into critical decision-making pipelines, a trend that raises the demand for robust and automated data analysis. Current approaches to dataset risk analysis are limited to manual auditing methods which involve time-consuming and complex tasks, whereas fully automated analysis based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) suffers from hallucinations and issues stemming from AI alignment. To this end, this work proposes a framework for dataset risk estimation that integrates Generative AI under human guidance and supervision, aiming to set the foundations for a future automated risk analysis paradigm. Our approach utilizes LLMs to identify semantic and structural properties in database schemata, subsequently propose clustering techniques, generate the code for them and finally interpret the produced results. The human supervisor guides the model on the desired analysis and ensures process integrity and alignment with the task's objectives. A proof of concept is presented to demonstrate the feasibility of the framework's utility in producing meaningful results in risk assessment tasks.
