Nowadays, most AI and Machine Learning algorithms leverage large amounts of data which can be purchased, collected or sourced online. This data is known as the Training Dataset and it enables the model to learn patterns and relationships within the data. By doing so, the model can make predictions or decisions based on new and unseen data.

Sites like Hugging Face allow people to share models and datasets without being dependent on just those used by the monolithic corporations.
