Nvidia, Google, OpenAI Turn To "Synthetic Data" Factories To Train AI Models
Nvidia, Alphabet's Google and hot startup OpenAI are turning to "synthetic data" factories amid demand for massive amounts of data needed to train deep learning artificial intelligence algorithms. It was a major subject at this week's Consumer Electronics Show.
The move toward synthetic data comes amid reports that AI companies are running out of real world data to train powerful AI models.
"Synthetic data offers a vital solution for addressing scarce or sensitive data requirements. This trend is accelerating as major AI companies exhaust available internet data for training," said data scientist Ben Lorica in a 2025 outlook report.
At CES 2025, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang touted artificial intelligence's future role in automotive and robotics applications. Synthetic data will help, he says.

Glad you asked.
