Training data
noun1.The raw material an AI system learns from, like textbooks for a student. Feed it rubbish, you get a system that thinks rubbish is normal. It's why today's virus-designing AI story matters: the DNA datasets it learned from were good, but nothing stopped it using that knowledge for harm.
