Companies across industries are considering whether, and how, to utilize artificial intelligence (AI). Once developed, an AI can be utilized in a variety of different ways.

As part of developing an AI, computers may be provided with large quantities of data from which patterns and associations can be recognized (“training data”). Training data is often referenced in two contexts – training data to create an AI and training data to fine-tune an AI. The former is typically utilized as part of the initial creation of the AI algorithm; the latter is often utilized for specific projects, organizations, or clients to adapt the AI to particular use cases.

If training data involves the use of personal information, data privacy laws that govern such information may be implicated.
