Question
What file formats do AI buyers accept?
By SourceX Editorial · Updated
Short answer
Common formats include JSON or JSONL for records and conversations, CSV or Parquet for tables, and original files (PDF, audio, images) with metadata. Consistency and documentation matter more than the specific format.
Part of: How licensing works
Explanation#
Threads should keep order, timestamps and roles.
A data dictionary explains every field.
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.
