Congratulations to the Data Provenance Initiative team on having the global data ecosystem audit being accepted to @iclr-conf.bsky.social's #ICLR2025! Outstanding work that continues to grow in breadth and scope, co-led by @shaynelongpre.bsky.social and Robert Mahari from MIT's Connection Science.
Thrilled our global data ecosystem audit was accepted to #ICLR2025!
Empirically, it shows:
1️⃣ Soaring synthetic text data: ~10M tokens (pre-2018) to 100B+ (2024).
2️⃣ YouTube is now 70%+ of speech/video data but could block third-party collection.
3️⃣ <0.2% of data from Africa/South America.
