Over the next several years, a lot of progress in AI will likely come from improvements in: • Data provenance • Expert validation • Reputation systems • Verifiable human feedback loops The infrastructure layer around AI is starting to evolve alongside the models themselves.

The people creating the most valuable training data in these domains — clinicians, engineers, legal professionals, researchers — contribute expertise that’s difficult to replace or synthesize. As a result, more focus is shifting toward systems that can properly align incentives around expertise, reliability, and long-term quality.

Every major AI lab has figured out how to scale compute. More clusters, better chips, more efficient infrastructure. What’s becoming more interesting now is where the bottleneck is emerging. A thread on why trusted, domain-specific data is starting to matter more as AI moves into real-world environments ↓

The gap between benchmark performance and real-world reliability is starting to become one of the biggest challenges in AI. Especially in areas like healthcare, legal AI, and robotics, where a technically “correct” answer isn’t always enough. These systems increasingly depend on: - Contextual reasoning - Expert judgment - High-quality human feedback loops Which is pushing the industry toward more specialized and verifiable data infrastructure.

The industry was built around scale. Volume, speed, cost-per-task. Now it’s expanding to include something else: Quality, accountability, and domain-specific expertise. This isn’t a limitation. It’s the next phase. And the teams building for it now are shaping how AI actually works in the real world.

Across all three, a pattern is emerging: As AI moves into higher-stakes environments, the requirements for data are changing. General-purpose pipelines got the industry this far. They’re not enough for where it’s going. What’s interesting is this shift is already happening inside leading AI teams. - More focus on domain expertise - More emphasis on traceability - More attention to how data is actually produced

The hardest AI deployments right now aren’t failing because of compute or architecture. They’re exposing something deeper: training data needs to be built for the domain it’s used in. Here are a few examples of how specialized AI is pushing the industry to rethink data 👇

Touching down in Miami for @consensus2026 👉👉

@consensus2026 see you there 🫡

Four days until Miami Beach becomes the most important place in crypto. 🌴

From Hong Kong back to the US for @consensus2026! Come find us in Miami from May 5-7. This year’s event brings together 20,000+ leaders across digital assets, AI, and institutional finance, with verification & security as a big focus. If you’re also thinking of going to Consensus, we want to meet you 👋

Most AI pipelines still optimize for throughput, not verifiability. Traditional pipelines break at scale: - Contributor identity isn’t tied to the data - Quality is hard to quantify consistently - Data lineage breaks across the pipeline So you lose visibility into what’s shaping model behavior. Perle restructures the intelligence layer: Experts → structured tasks capturing reasoning Evaluation → continuous scoring + consensus Output → high-signal datasets with traceable lineage This is what provenance-first data infrastructure looks like.
