What is AI training data?
By SourceX Editorial · Updated
Short answer
AI training data is the information used to teach a model patterns — text, conversations, images, audio, code or workflows. Public data is widely used already, so proprietary data from real businesses has become increasingly sought after.
Training vs. evaluation
Some data teaches models; other data tests them. Both can be licensed.
Why businesses matter
Business data shows how real work is done.
