Research data and metadata that adhere to the FAIR Principles enhance the ability of machines to Find, Access, Interoperate with and Reuse data making AI more trustorthy, equitable, and fit to purpose. Erik Schultes explores this in his keynote “FAIR and verifiable – The role of FAIR Digital Objects in trusted AI”, sharing insights from ongoing initiatives at Leiden University.
