OpenAI aims to collaborate with organizations in creating new AI training data sets
November 10 2023
OpenAI has launched an initiative called Data Partnerships aimed at collaborating with third-party organizations to improve AI model training data sets. The aim is to eradicate toxic language and inherent biases found in current data sets, which often stem from a U.S. or Western-centric bias. The goal is to create a broad training data set that encompasses all subjects, industries, cultures, and languages to enable AI to better understand all areas. OpenAI plans to source large-scale data sets reflecting human society across various mediums. The initiative will include both open-source and private data sets, with the latter aimed at organizations desiring privacy yet wanting to improve OpenAI’s understanding of their domain. Skepticism surrounds the project’s success due to its commercial motivation and ongoing criticism regarding OpenAI’s use of other’s work without permission or compensation.
