AI training data

Quick answer

Information used to teach an AI model patterns, such as text, conversations, images, audio, code or action records.

Training data is distinct from evaluation data, which measures a model's performance. Proprietary real-world data is increasingly sought because public data is widely used already.

Why AI training data matters when licensing company data to AI

AI training data is the material a model learns from. Buyers will ask what a business's records are, whether they show real work, and whether the company may share them. Before release, the records are checked for personal details, reviewed for rights, and narrowed to the fields and date range the agreed use requires.
