Most data used to train machine learning models will be synthetic and automatically generated, a new report from Gartner predicts. Only 1% of all AI training data was synthetic in 2021 but analysts suggest it could hit 60% by the end of 2024. Governance and vigilance about biases is essential to prevent this data suffering the same challenges as organic data, one expert told Tech Monitor.

Synthetic data is generated by AI to fill in missing gaps in real world information such as medical imaging or information on specific disease patterns. In new research on trends in data science, published this week, Gartner predicts that by 2024 more than 60% of all AI model training data will be synthetic, something it says will lead to better AI systems.
