The Value of Proprietary Data in the Brave New World of AI
Proprietary data is often touted as the key to success, but the belief that having unique data is a major advantage may be overrated. While some specialized data sets like population genomic databases may hold value, for most companies, the sheer amount of data available on the internet diminishes the uniqueness and marketability of proprietary data. Despite the narrative that data is the new oil, the lack of a robust marketplace for data transactions suggests that its value may be less significant than commonly believed.
