Only as good as the data

from Practical AI Hosted by Daniel Whitenack and Chris Benson

You might have heard that “AI is only as good as the data.” What does that mean and what data are we talking about? Chris and Daniel dig into that topic in the episode exploring the categories of data that you might encounter working in AI (for training, testing, fine-tuning, benchmarks, etc.). They also discuss the latest developments in AI regulation with the EU’s AI Act coming into force. Sponsors: Assembly AI – Turn voice data into summaries with AssemblyAI’s leading Speech AI models.
