Major AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are reportedly struggling to find new high-quality data to ingest, leading to a reliance on "synthetic data" and partnerships for non-public datasets. Meanwhile, the FTC is investigating Snap's "My AI" chatbot for potential risks to young users, highlighting the growing legal and regulatory pressure on the sector.
A study published in Nature magazine reveals that AI models fed on AI-generated data quickly "collapse" into nonsense. Researchers found that by the ninth generation of training on synthetic text, the output becomes incoherent. This "model collapse" theory suggests that the cost of training models will increase while quality decreases if they cannot access original human-generated content.
