The most valuable data in AI may no longer be on the public internet.
A few years ago, public internet data was the prize. It was human, messy, massive, and still largely untapped.
Now a growing share of the web is AI-generated. The public layer is getting flatter, and in many places, less original.
At the same time, our behavior is changing. We are feeding these systems everything: docs, chats, images, spreadsheets, notes, memory, and context.
More context in, better output out.
That shift is already visible in the data. Microsoft's 2024 Work Trend Index, based on 31,000 people across 31 countries, found that 75% of global knowledge workers use AI at work and 78% of AI users bring their own AI tools to work. McKinsey's 2025 State of AI survey found that 88% of organizations report regular AI use in at least one business function, but only about one-third say they have begun scaling AI programs.
