AI and ‘Enormous Data’ Could Make Tech Giants Like Google Harder to Topple
Another week, another record-breaking AI research study released by Google—this time with results that are a reminder of a crucial business dynamic of the current AI boom. Showing that more data can equal more performance out even at huge scale suggests that there could be even greater benefits to being a data-rich tech giant like Google, Facebook, or Microsoft than previously realized. Tech companies do release data: Last year, Google released a vast dataset drawn from more than 7 million YouTube videos, and Salesforce opened up one drawn from Wikipedia to help algorithms work with language. Google and CMU’s researchers do say they want their latest study on the value of what they dub “enormous data” to catalyze the creation of much larger, Google-scale, open image datasets. Progress on making machine learning less data hungry could upend the data economics of AI; Uber bought one company working on that last year.
