Looks like Data sets are going to be the moat of AI companies.
Until one shot and transfer learning work.
All the one-shot approaches I've seen are IMO transfer learning in disguise, which raises the question of "what are you transferring from?". So while these should hopefully reduce the need for truly gigantic datasets about everything, there is still a limit of how much info you can extract from a fixed amount of data.

Tip: when you don't know how to pronounce someone's name, find an interview (podcast? video interview?) with that person.

open/free data sources are likely to become very important. AI hasn't yet been super-important in the open data world, but I'd expect it to gain a lot of prominence as time goes by.

People say that but I don't see many ML companies being acquired or funded because of their data sets.

#19I'm curious to the opinions of people here on companies collecting data to build data sets vs. privacy.
Privacy activists have long ignored any benefits of data collection and as we continue to extract more and more value from data this should become more evident and we will be forced to start discussing concrete harms rather than people's general discomfort.

Big companies have valuable datasets, small companies have talent. It makes sense for big companies to acquire talent, not datasets.
