Artificial Intelligence (AI) - Concept
Training data
The examples used to teach an AI model the patterns it should learn
What's it for?
Gives an artificial-intelligence model the examples it learns from before being used on new cases.
For example…
A CV-screening model trained mostly on past hires from one university may unfairly favour similar candidates.
A fraud model is trained on historical transactions labelled as fraudulent or legitimate so it can learn patterns to apply to new payments
Think of it like…
Revising only from last year's exam papers: you get good at that set, and miss topics that never appeared
