How Much Is AI Training Data Worth?

Jan 17, 2024 - mediapost.com
Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff has called for standardization of payments to content creators whose data is used to train artificial intelligence (AI) models. In an interview at the World Economic Forum, Benioff accused some companies of stealing training data and suggested building a company based on a standardized set of training data that would allow for fair competition and compensation. He also highlighted the need for large language models and a broad sense of training data.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, however, disagreed with the notion that all training data is valuable, stating that the company does not want to train on data from sources like the New York Times. Instead, OpenAI focuses on training with smaller amounts of high-quality data. Altman expressed a desire to work with publishers to attribute news articles to specific publishers. The company also clarified its stance on military applications of its technology, stating that while it has removed language banning such use from its terms of service, it maintains a ban on using its technology to develop weapons or cause harm. OpenAI is currently working with the Pentagon on several projects, including cybersecurity capabilities.

Key takeaways:

  • Marc Benioff, Salesforce CEO, suggests that AI companies should standardize payments to content creators, as he believes all the training data for AI models has been stolen.
  • OpenAI CEO Sam Altman disagrees, stating that they do not need large amounts of data and would prefer to train on smaller amounts of high-quality data.
  • OpenAI has recently removed language in its terms of service banning the company’s technology from “military and warfare” applications, according to Anna Adeola Makanju, OpenAI Vice President of Global Affairs.
  • OpenAI is working with the Pentagon on several projects including cybersecurity capabilities, despite its earlier ban on providing its artificial intelligence for military purposes.
