get_market_rates
Market rates for AI training data
Median, middle half and range per comparable unit (per hour of video or audio, per image, per task, per company, per title, and more) for each kind of AI training data and each side of the market, computed from published prices. Without `kind`, returns every rate the evidence supports a median for.
Parameterskindside
search_prices
Search published AI training data prices
The individual price observations behind the market rates: what a lab, vendor, marketplace or court said data was paid, offered, listed or sold for, with the figure as published, the figure per unit, the date, the source's own words and a link. Newest first.
Parameterskindsidelimitquery
value_data
Value a holding of data from public prices
What published prices imply for a holding of data: a low-to-high range in US dollars with the arithmetic behind it. Call it first with only `kind` to get the questions and their answer ids, ask the holder, then call again with `answers`. Questions not answered are taken at their defaults and marked as assumed. An indication, not an offer.
Parameterskindrequiredanswers
find_buyers
Find buyers of a kind of AI training data
Organisations with a public way to sell them data, with their own published terms: what they want, what they pay, when they pay, who removes personal data, eligibility, and what they pay an introducer. Largest published figure first.
Parameterskindlimitquery
find_vendors
Find companies that sell AI training data
Vendors that sell training data, RL environments, evaluations, expert work or annotation to AI developers, each with what it says it sells and where its data comes from in its own words, and whether it says it pays holders for data. A to Z, not ranked.
Parametersbuysfromlimitquerysells
find_lots
Find data on offer across brokers' catalogues
Every lot publicly on offer in the catalogues the lot index reads each day (companies' records, codebases, footage, speech, environments), in one vocabulary: kind, industry, years of history, systems, size, what its catalogue says about the rights and whether it is ready, each linked to its catalogue's own page. We have not checked any catalogue's claims. No holder is named. Longest history first.
Parameterskindlimitqueryrightsindustry
search_deals
Search disclosed AI data licensing deals
Licences of data to AI companies disclosed since July 2023: licensor, licensee, content, use (training or display), term, value where disclosed, with a verbatim quote and the source. Newest first.
Parametersuselimitquerysince
search_cases
Search lawsuits and rulings over AI training data
Lawsuits, rulings, settlements and regulatory actions over data used to train AI, with parties, claim, amounts, outcome, status and the source. Newest first.
Parameterskindlimitquery
check_software_terms
What a business system's terms allow for AI training data
For a business system (Slack, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, HubSpot, Zendesk, Zoom, GitHub, Notion and more): whether the holder can export its data, what the vendor's API terms say about training AI on data pulled through them, our reading of the content's rights risk, and the clauses word for word. Research from public sources, not legal advice. Without `system`, lists the systems on file.
