Common Data Collection
Methods
1. Web Scraping: Automatically extracting data from websites using
customized scripts or tools.

2. Surveys and Interviews: Gathering information directly from

individuals through questionnaires, polls, and face-to-face or virtual
interviews.
3. Sensor Data: Collecting data from IoT devices, wearables, and other
sensors to monitor physical phenomena and user behavior.

Collecting high-quality, diverse data is crucial for developing robust and
unbiased AI systems. This involves careful curation, validation, and
representation of data from various demographic groups, domains, and
perspectives.

Techniques like data auditing, A/B testing, and feedback loops help
identify and mitigate biases in the data. Maintaining data provenance
and transparency is essential for building trust and accountability.
