The event aims to explore the continuum between open and FAIR data, the automation and robotization of processes, and artificial intelligence, highlighting how these domains mutually shape one another. This process is accelerated as data infrastructures evolve into algorithmic intelligence and materialize into autonomous and robotic systems operating within human social environments. The event will bring together researchers, R&D staff, policymakers, funders, and interested members of the public to engage in interdisciplinary dialogue on these developments. Particular attention will be devoted to how AI-based technologies are reshaping knowledge production, governance, and responsibility in the age of data sharing (open science) and autonomous systems (e.g., self-driving laboratories).
