The emergence of the web data infrastructure layer for AI
Summary
AI systems need access to large amounts of current, structured data to work effectively, but the web was not designed for the automated data retrieval that AI applications require. Companies face a challenge: traditional training methods using old data snapshots are insufficient, and they need infrastructure that can continuously retrieve real-time, trustworthy information from millions of websites to keep AI outputs current and reduce hallucinations (when AI generates false information).
