Traditional machine learning models like ChatGPT and Claude AI are trained by data mined from millions of users. But as calls for data privacy and AI safety continue to mount, AI is shifting away from data scraping in favor of decentralized techniques. Newer AI models are being trained collaboratively — using raw data that never leaves its source device, be it a smartphone, laptop or IoT device. This decentralized approach is called federated learning, which allows edge devices to...

Image: Shutterstock Data mapping is the process of linking data fields from one source (such as a database) to data fields in another source. It is a foundational task in data management and the first step in facilitating data integration and migration. What Is Data Mapping? Data mapping is the process of matching data fields between two or more systems (such as databases or spreadsheets). This ensures data is accurate and usable in its destination database. “Data mapping ensures that data...
