Part 3/13:
The Role of Data: Privacy and Public vs. Private Data in AI Development
Ellison highlights that most current AI models—like ChatGPT, Anthropic, Grok, or Llama—are trained predominantly on publicly available internet data. While this approach has propelled AI forward, he emphasizes that unlocking its full potential will require integrating private, proprietary data stored in corporate databases, particularly from companies like Oracle.
He notes that a significant portion of the world’s high-value data already resides in Oracle’s databases, which have been purposefully adapted to make this private data accessible to AI systems. This transformation enables models to reason with both public and private data, significantly enhancing their capabilities.
