When you train AI, you can use many different types of datasets. It is easy to look at them only from the IT side – how useful, accurate and fit for your purpose they are, but each type also comes with legal risks that can endanger your project, your model and even its sale on the market. So it is not enough to ask “Is this data useful?”, you must also ask “Are we actually allowed to use it this way?
