Where And How Do You Normally Find Data For Your AI Projects?

I know this question may vary depending on industry and use case, but I’ve spent hours navigating pages for different types of data for my projects and still feel like I’m not finding the right datasets.

I’m starting to suspect that I’m either using the wrong process for determining what type of data I need or not looking in the right places.

For context: I’m working on both LLM and conventional ML projects, and I’m looking for both various structured public EU datasets and unstructured private data. However, I’m curious to learn about your experiences in general so that I can assess my own process.

How do you go about finding datasets for your projects, and where do you normally search for them?
