FAQ
Frequently asked questions
01What do the insights articles cover?
They explain movements in the AI training data market: new licensing deals, changes to what programmes publish, how licence terms compare and how figures should be read. Each article stays on the market itself and links to the tables it draws on.
02How often is a new article published?
About once a week. Every article shows the date it was published, and a second date when it was later revised in substance.
03Where do the figures in the articles come from?
From primary sources: the programme's own pages, filings, official documents and named press reports. Each figure carries a link to its source, and the methodology page explains how sources are chosen and checked.
04What happens when an article turns out to be wrong?
We correct it, set a new updated date and keep the source that settled the point. Send corrections to hello@aitrainingdata.broker with a link to the source that shows the error.
05Are the articles legal, tax or investment advice?
No. They describe what sources publish and how deals are reported. For a decision about a specific contract, speak to a lawyer or adviser who can read the whole document.
