Drew Breunig ☛ On Authentic Data | Drew Breunig
The rise of “authentic data” illustrates a new concern: the emergence of “generated data”, data created not from observations but from machine learning and AI models. It’s a necessary distinction – one we didn’t have to make until recently – though its importance will vary by use case.
Generated Data
Data that is artificially created, often by AI models, and used to augment authentic datasets or simulate real-world scenarios.
There is a growing wariness of “generated data” among data analysts and enterprises. Just as there are fears that AI slop will poison the internet, rendering it difficult to use for both humans and machines, there is anxiety that generated data will undermine analyses and lead to poor decisions.
