Description
The RDA Secretariat and RDA-US hosted two virtual ‘AI Cross-Fertilisation Meetings’ this September, connecting RDA AI-related groups and Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions ahead of the 27th Plenary Meeting (P27) in London. Meeting 1 (8 September) focused on trust, governance, and standards for AI agents in research workflows; Meeting 2 (10 September) covered FAIR and AI-readiness across the technical stack. Each ran a series of 5-minute lightning pitches followed by structured discussion, with recordings and notes shared. This infographic summary provides an overview of the synergies and collaboration opportunities identified, as well as the gaps and needs to be addressed by the global RDA community going forward.
