Data is king: The role of data capture and integrity in embracing AI

In machine learning (ML), data quality is crucial for training accurate models. Having a lot of data is not sufficient; the data must be clean and well-labeled to avoid errors in predictions. The quantity and quality of data needed depend on the complexity of the problem being solved, with more complex problems requiring larger volumes of high-quality data. Poor quality data can negatively impact model performance, even if there is a large amount of it. Careful curation, preprocessing, and validation of data are essential to ensure accuracy and fairness in ML models.
