Encourage more “AI-ready” materials R&D data

  • Build upon FAIR data policies to ensure more AI-ready datasets.
  • Incentivize the implementation of FAIR data practices.
  • Provide tools to assess the quality of data.
  • Develop and incentivize the adoption of community-developed metadata standards.
  • Remove barriers to AI-driven materials R&D for U.S. manufacturing
    • Demonstrate application of materials-informed AI approaches to in operando manufacturing processes.
    • Translate autonomous R&D techniques from the laboratory to the shop floor.
    • Promote AI-driven techniques through workshops, symposia, and the articulation of third-millenium problems.
