OECD publishes paper on AI training mechanisms
03/10/2025 | OECD
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has published a policy paper mapping the diverse mechanisms used to collect data for artificial intelligence (AI) training. The paper addresses the tendency for practitioners to underestimate the importance of data collection compared to model building. It stresses that the variety of mechanisms used deserves closer attention, as each holds different implications for AI developers, data subjects, and rights holders. The paper ultimately proposes a taxonomy to support policy discussions on privacy, data governance, and the responsible development of AI systems.
