Question
Do AI labs buy spreadsheets?
By SourceX Editorial · Updated
Short answer
Some do, when it is relevant, lawfully obtained and prepared. Real working spreadsheets help models learn tabular reasoning and financial modelling. Buyers license it for defined uses, such as training or evaluating specific models, and expect personal details removed and proof the owner has the right to share it.
Part of: How licensing works
Explanation#
Demand depends on what a buyer is building. Spreadsheets is most useful when it reflects real professional work at depth, covers several years and links actions to outcomes.
Examples#
- Budget models with version history
- Operations trackers
Rights and privacy#
- Confirm customer, vendor and employee agreements allow the use
- Remove or de-identify personal details before anything leaves the company
- Approve the final dataset and permitted uses in writing
How licensing works#
A business describes its data, buyer demand is assessed, scope and permitted use are proposed, the data is prepared and de-identified, an agreement is signed, and the approved dataset is delivered. See data licensing for detail.
