Selling or Licensing Company Data to AI: What's in Demand (Nov 12, 2026)
Full script
Welcome to the AI data licensing market update for November 12, 2026.
AI companies changed their shopping lists this week, so let me walk you through what moved.
This week, 4 different AI companies asked me about healthcare data.
Before this month, most of them were not buying it at all.
That is the big change.
Today: healthcare, a long wish list from finance and professional firms, and code and first-person video.
Then the terms that new AI companies bring.
Let me start with healthcare.
AI companies are asking for clinical notes, imaging with the written findings, and lab results.
Dental groups and clinics are part of this, not only hospitals.
Everything is de-identified inside your own systems before a file leaves.
Under the HIPAA Privacy Rule from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, health data that is properly de-identified is no longer protected health information.
Some AI companies are still setting up how they handle patient data, so not all of them take it yet.
And some set a staff floor for medical and dental practices.
Next, financial services, where the wish list is long.
In banking and payments: chargebacks, fraud cases, anti-money-laundering reviews, and loan files with the outcome.
In insurance: quotes and binders, underwriting files and claim files.
On trading desks: quote requests, trade errors and allocations.
In tax and accounting: client tax files, sales tax across several states, and internal controls. Accounting practices that are closing or retiring are welcome too.
Here is what changed: one department can be enough, so the data does not have to cover the whole company.
The budgets I am seeing run in the 5 to 6 figures for each data category.
This round is due later this month.
Professional firms are on the list too, and the theme is the drafts, not just the final answer.
Law firms: closed matter files, contracts with every redline, and the billing behind them.
Consulting boutiques: spreadsheet models with live formulas, and deck drafts with comments through to the final version.
Government contractors: bid responses and contract cost files.
Economic consultants: damages models and expert reports.
And managed IT and security providers: cloud billing exports and closed security incidents.
Each incident shows what was found and what was done.
An AI lab learns from how the work reached the answer, so keep the versions.
2 more kinds of data are moving.
First, codebases, together with the work around them: the tickets, the code reviews and the decisions behind each change.
Right now, some AI labs only take businesses that have a codebase.
Second, first-person video of real trade work.
A crew member wears a head camera on real jobs, with the hands and tools in view.
Robotics teams use it to learn how the work is done.
You may be wondering how to tell all these new AI companies apart.
New AI companies show up almost every week, and their terms differ a lot.
Here is a checklist before you say yes.
Ask who is buying: an AI lab, a reseller or a broker.
Ask how long any exclusivity runs. Some ask for it with no end date, so ask your own lawyer before you sign that.
Ask how they count staff: today, or at the peak.
And keep a list of where you already applied, so the same data does not reach one AI lab twice.
If your company works in healthcare, finance, law or consulting, this is a good month to look at your options.
The same goes for a company with code or trade video.

I will see you next time.
