IMPACT OF GENERATIVE AI

Advanced Capabilities of Generative AI for High-quality Training Data Fueled Market Growth

Generative AI systems democratize AI capabilities that were previously inaccessible due to the lack of training data and the computing power needed to enable algorithms to work in the context of each organization. As datasets provide the basis for learning and producing new content, the quality, quantity, and diversity of AI training datasets are of high importance for the development and effectiveness of generative AI models.

Generative AI has created a highly positive impact on the market as it helps in providing high-quality data. Companies are strategically partnering to implement generative AI for training AI models. For instance, in November 2023, Gretel, a multimodal synthetic data generation platform, agreed with AWS to accelerate the development of responsible generative AI for protecting personal and sensitive information. This partnership enables selected companies to receive direct support from professionals from both firms and private access to privacy tools and Gretel's state-of-the-art synthetic data generation models.

AI Training Dataset Market Trends

Rising Usage of Synthetic Data for Enhancing Authentication to Propel Market Growth

Synthetic data helps to create synthetic identities to secure images and protect privacy. AI can be used to take recognizable features out of video/image streams presenting people in real time. Generative AI can create synthetic data that can be used to train models, including biometric-based identities. This results in a more robust training model, which ensures the privacy of individuals and maintains data quality.

The use of synthetic data allows practitioners to create the information they require in a specific volume and at any time, with a particular focus on their specific needs. By 2024, according to an industry expert, 60% of all data used for developing AI will be synthetic rather than real.
