Not Every AI Problem Is a Data Problem

Membership in ACM includes a subscription to Communications of the ACM (CACM), the computing industry's most trusted source for staying connected to the world of advanced computing. Why we should be intentional about data scaling. Large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the AI landscape, demonstrating remarkable capabilities across a wide range of tasks. Each new model seemingly reinforces the notion that modern transformer-based AI can conquer any challenge if armed with sufficient compute and data. However, while scaling has accelerated certain applications, such as robotics, it has yet to show significant impact in others, such as identifying misinformation.
