Synthetic data are artificially generated by algorithms to mimic the statistical properties of actual data, without containing any information from real-world sources. While concrete numbers are hard to pin down, some estimates suggest that more than 60% of data used for AI applications in 2024 was synthetic, and this figure is expected to grow across industries.Synthetic data are artificially generated by algorithms to mimic the statistical properties of actual data, without containing any information from real-world sources.

In everyday life, it’s a no-brainer to be able to grab a cup of coffee from the table. Multiple sensory inputs such as sight (seeing how far away the cup is) and touch are combined in real-time. However, recreating this in artificial intelligence (AI) is not quite as easy.In everyday life, it’s a no-brainer to be able to grab a cup of coffee from the table.
