Companies like OpenAI and Google are running out of the data used to train artificial intelligence systems. Can new methods continue years of rapid progress?<\/p>\n

Demis Hassabis, one of the most influential artificial intelligence experts in the world, has a warning for the rest of the tech industry: Don\u2019t expect chatbots to continue to improve as quickly as they have over the last few years.<\/p>\n

A.I. researchers have for some time been relying on a fairly simple concept to improve their systems: the more data culled from the internet that they pumped into large language models<\/a> \u2014 the technology behind chatbots \u2014 the better those systems performed.<\/p>\n

But Dr. Hassabis, who oversees Google DeepMind, the company\u2019s primary A.I. lab, now says that method is running out of steam simply because tech companies are running out of data.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone in the industry is seeing diminishing returns,\u201d Dr. Hassabis said this month in an interview with The New York Times as he prepared to accept a Nobel Prize for his work on artificial intelligence<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Dr. Hassabis is not the only A.I. expert warning of a slowdown. Interviews with 20 executives and researchers showed a widespread belief that the tech industry is running into a problem many would have thought was unthinkable just a few years ago: They have used up most of the digital text available on the internet.<\/p>\n

That problem is starting to surface even as billions of dollars continue to be poured into A.I. development. On Tuesday, Databricks, an A.I. data company, said it was closing in on $10 billion<\/a> in funding \u2014 the largest-ever private funding round for a start-up. And the biggest companies in tech are signaling that they have no plans to slow down their spending on the giant data centers that run A.I. systems.<\/p>\n
