"Trustworthy A.I. Data: How Big Companies Are Navigating the Challenge"

A consortium of companies, including American Express, Humana, IBM, Pfizer, UPS, and Walmart, has developed data provenance standards to address concerns about the lineage and trustworthiness of data used in artificial intelligence (A.I.) applications. The standards serve as a labeling system that describes the origin, history, legal rights, and intended use of data. By providing greater clarity and transparency, the standards aim to bolster corporate confidence in A.I. technology. The initiative is expected to improve efficiency in data handling and increase the reliability of A.I.-generated answers. The standards are set to be made available to the public early next year.
