Title: Data and AI Markets: Grand Opportunities for Data and AI Model Sharing, Discovery, and Integration
Abstract
The markets for data and AI models are rapidly emerging, becoming increasingly significant in data science and artificial intelligence. These markets are being explored from diverse perspectives such as e-commerce, economics, machine learning, and data management. In this talk, I will highlight a novel perspective: data and AI markets as grand opportunities for data and AI model sharing, discovery, and integration. I will motivate the importance of data and model markets using practical examples, introduce the current industry landscape of such markets, explore the modules and options of such markets from multiple dimensions, including assets in the markets (e.g., data versus models), platforms, and participants. Moreover, I will share example projects from my group to showcase the interdisciplinary research opportunities that this new research direction offers. We are dedicated to explore the fascinating world of data and AI markets and discover the potential they hold for the future.
