DOES AI CHANGE HOW MUCH MY DATA IS WORTH?
Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter
The value of individual personal data has traditionally been viewed as insignificant, with only aggregated data being commercially valuable. However, with the emergence of a new market for consumer data to train large language models, the value of personal datasets may be increasing, though individuals are unlikely to be directly compensated by platforms in the near future. Instead, data collectives and cooperative models that allow individuals to own a stake in the economic benefits of their contributed data are emerging as potential ways for people to participate in this new data economy.
