AI Appears to Rapidly Be Approaching Brick Wall Where It Can’t Get Smarter

World’s smallest violin for AI execs.


Researchers are ringing the alarm bells, warning that companies like OpenAI and Google are rapidly running out of human-written training data for their AI models.

And without new training data, it’s likely the models won’t be able to get any smarter, a point of reckoning for the burgeoning AI industry.

“There is a serious bottleneck here,” AI researcher Tamay Besiroglu, lead author of a new paper to be presented at a conference this summer, told the Associated Press. “If you start hitting those constraints about how much data you have, then you can’t really scale up your models efficiently anymore.”
