AI Pipeline (Data Pipeline)
Definition
An AI (or data) pipeline is the automated flow that collects, cleans, and feeds data into an AI model and delivers its output to where work happens — the plumbing that makes a model useful.

Key points
- Most of the effort in a real AI project is the pipeline, not the model.
- Without it, even a great model stays a science experiment.
- Connects your existing systems so AI acts on live data, not exports.

Because a model is only as useful as the data reaching it and the place its output lands. Building the pipeline — ingestion, cleaning, integration, delivery — is what turns a model into a working product.
