AI实验室从倒闭初创企业购买数据训练模型
原标题:AI labs are buying data from dead startups to train their models
AI 摘要
随着AI训练实验室触及公开和合成数据集的极限,一个新兴市场正在形成:SimpleClosure、Sunset等公司帮助倒闭的初创企业出售其代码、Slack聊天记录、邮件等数据给AI实验室。SimpleClosure的Asset Hub平台已处理超150笔交易,预计到2026年底向初创企业返还超1000万美元。Google在Spirit Airlines破产案中以1000万美元竞得包含1亿封邮件和5亿条Teams消息的数据。此类交易引发隐私和法律争议,工会以隐私为由反对,律师称这些数据为"法律放射性物质",且员工通常无法从数据销售中获利。
