The markets for data and AI models are rapidly emerging and increasingly significant in the realm and the practices of data science and artificial intelligence. These markets are being studied from diverse perspectives, such as e-commerce, economics, machine learning, and data management. This talk aims to provide a brief interdisciplinary introduction to data and AI model markets. Instead of concentrating only on the economics aspect, we take a novel perspective and examine data and AI model markets as grand opportunities to address the long-standing problem of data and model sharing, discovery, and integration. We will motivate the importance of data and model markets using practical examples, present the current industry landscape of such markets, explore the modules and options of such markets from multiple dimensions, including assets in the markets (e.g., data versus models), platforms, and participants. Furthermore, we will summarize the latest advancements and examine the future directions of data and AI model markets as mechanisms for enabling and facilitating sharing, discovery, and integration.
