Elevating AI Reliability: Addressing the Data Quality Conundrum

Modern artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies are experiencing tremendous growth and development. However, along with this growth come new challenges that require attention and solutions. One such problem, which remains insufficiently discussed, is the quality of data used to train AI models.

Since the emergence of the first artificial neural networks based on deep learning algorithms, their capabilities and results have significantly improved. Models such as GPT-3.5 and Midjourney have become popular tools for generating text and images, respectively. Over the past one and a half years, they have greatly improved their accuracy and ability to create realistic content.

Emergence of the Problem

However, even with such significant achievements, there remains one critical problem - the quality of the data on which these models are trained. In the past, the data used to train artificial intelligence systems was created and curated by humans, ensuring its reliability and completeness. For example, photographs of objects were intact and undistorted, and text written by humans was meaningful and safe to use.

With the emergence of new content generation technologies based on artificial intelligence, the scenario has changed. Now, there is an increasing amount of content generated by artificial systems on the internet, but the quality of this content leaves much to be desired. Generated images are often distorted, with incorrect proportions and objects cut off, while text may be nonsensical or contain false information.

This new type of data, generated using artificial intelligence, poses a challenge for future models as they are trained on this data. Instead of using reliable data created by humans, they may begin to learn from data containing errors and distortions, leading to a decrease in the quality of their output.

Therefore, it is essential to address this problem and begin seeking solutions now to ensure the quality of the data used to train artificial intelligence and to preserve its further development and progress.

Illustration

For a better understanding of the importance of addressing the issue of data quality in artificial intelligence, one can consider an analogy with the process of rewriting text.

Imagine you have an original text containing certain errors, such as missing letters or omitted punctuation marks. If each person rewriting this text unconsciously corrects these errors and adds the missing elements, the text can only improve over time. This process resembles the workings of the human mind, which automatically corrects mistakes and fills in missing elements.

However, when this process of rewriting text is performed by artificial intelligence, the situation changes. If the AI does not recognize an error or does not know how to correct it, it preserves this error or may even introduce new distortions. Thus, each subsequent artificial intelligence model trained on such data will degrade the quality of the content, increasing the number of errors and distortions.

This process can be compared to making copies using a copying machine, where each subsequent copy becomes less accurate and of lower quality than the previous one. Therefore, it is essential to carefully consider and address the issue of data quality in artificial intelligence before it leads to further deterioration of results and negative consequences for society.

Collective Resolution

Examining the issue of data quality for training artificial intelligence, it becomes evident that its resolution is crucial for the further development of this field. Insufficient data quality can lead to decreased model performance and accuracy, as well as increased risk of erroneous conclusions and decisions based on them.

One key way forward is the active involvement of the artificial intelligence community of researchers, developers, and users in developing standards and guidelines for data quality. This may involve creating tools for assessing data quality, developing methods for automatic filtering and processing low-quality data, and training models on higher-quality and diverse datasets.

Ultimately, recognizing this issue and actively participating in its resolution should become a priority for all stakeholders in the artificial intelligence ecosystem - from researchers and developers to businesses and government organizations. Only through collective efforts can we ensure the quality and reliability of artificial intelligence and make it a useful tool for our society.

Thus, addressing the issue of data quality for artificial intelligence is a necessary step to ensure its further progress and successful integration into various aspects of human life and activities. It is a challenge that we must accept and resolve now to ensure a bright future for artificial intelligence and its role in our world.
