Building the Marketplace for AI’s Most Valuable Asset

a16z investors Daisy Wolf and Eva Steinman talk with Bobby Samuels, cofounder and CEO of Protege. They discuss the myth that we've run out of data for AI, how Protege connects healthcare systems and other data holders with the major AI labs, and why real-world data beats synthetic data for training models. Bobby also covers the growing demand for eval datasets, expanding beyond healthcare into video and audio, and what he's seeing from the biggest AI companies as they race to acquire training data.
