AI models like OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and Google\u2019s Gemini have run out of training data, according to Goldman Sachs\u2019 data chief.<\/p>\n

Neema Raphael, who serves as the banking giant\u2019s chief data officer and head of data engineering, said the issue could stunt the development of artificial intelligence<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve already run out of data,\u201d Mr Raphael said on the bank\u2019s Exchanges podcast, adding that AI models are increasingly turning to so-called synthetic data generated by artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

“I think what might be interesting is people might think there might be a creative plateau… If all of the data is synthetically generated, then how much human data could then be incorporated? I think that’ll be an interesting thing to watch from a philosophical perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is not the first time that senior industry figures have raised concerns about the issue, referred to as \u201cpeak data<\/a>\u201d, whereby AI models consume all of the internet\u2019s vast troves of information.<\/p>\n

An article in the journal Nature in December predicted that a \u201ccrisis point\u201d would be reached by 2028. \u201cThe internet is a vast ocean of human knowledge, but it isn\u2019t infinite,\u201d the article<\/a> stated. \u201cArtificial intelligence researchers have nearly sucked it dry.\u201d<\/p>\n

OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever said last year that the lack of training data would mean that AI\u2019s rapid development \u201cwill unquestionably end\u201d.<\/p>\n

The situation is similar to fossil fuels, according to Mr Sutskever, as human-generated content is a finite resource just like oil or coal.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve achieved peak data and there\u2019ll be no more,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have to deal with the data that we have. There\u2019s only one internet.\u201d<\/p>\n

The lack of new data could force AI companies to shift away from current training models, switching focus from large language models like ChatGPT towards more agentic artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

AI agents, which are already being developed and released by most major artificial intelligence firms, serve as autonomous systems that can make decisions and perform tasks online without human oversight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Popular AI virtual assistant apps on a smartphone in Toronto, Canada, on 27 January, 2025, including ChatGPT, DeepSeek,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":104041,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[261],"tags":[291,289,290,23176,65602,18,65604,19,17,65603,65605,29788,82,43084],"class_list":{"0":"post-104040","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-artificialintelligence","11":"tag-chief-data-officer","12":"tag-data-engineering","13":"tag-eire","14":"tag-human-data","15":"tag-ie","16":"tag-ireland","17":"tag-neema-raphael","18":"tag-peak-data","19":"tag-synthetic-data","20":"tag-technology","21":"tag-training-data"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104040","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=104040"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104040\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/104041"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=104040"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=104040"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=104040"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
