💬 "Data that isn’t FAIR creates massive barriers to the sorts of innovative insight today’s AI algorithms can yield." We're working with international data infrastructure bodies to promote widespread adoption of FAIR #data and #metadata principles to unlock the full potential of AI systems. 🖥️🧬

AI is transforming #lifescience, helping us extract and analyse information from vast datasets. 🧬 🖥️ But these systems are only effective when they can find and understand the data it needs. Ensuring we have #FAIRdata therefore is critical to unlocking #AI's potential. buff.ly/QlfDw3n

At the Earlham Institute, we develop tools that help researchers share, access, and use large #genomic datasets. 🖥️🧬 One of those is Grassroots Genomics - an open-source platform supporting the plant genomic community. #FAIRdata #OpenScience ➡️ buff.ly/CRUNCDr @richardmleggett.bsky.social
