The recent Nobel Prize in Chemistry (AlphaFold and RosettaFold) exemplifies AI’s potential in biosciences and biotechnology. High-quality reference datasets like UniProt were highlighted as vital enablers of these achievements.</p></div> </div> <div class="title-type-h2 has-title paragraph paragraph--type--text paragraph--view-mode--default bullets--red bullets-size--default" > <h2 class="title" id="funding-challenges-for-data-resources-at-the-forefront" > Funding challenges for data resources at the forefront </h2> <div class="prose xl:prose-lg prose-text"><p>SIB has long advocated for sustainable funding models to support essential research resources. At the Summit, participants underscored the critical importance of this issue. Despite their proven value in AI-driven bioscience advancements and their long-standing role as accelerators of research, many data resources face funding shortages and lack incentives for long-term maintenance.</p></div> </div> <div class="title-type-h2 has-title paragraph paragraph--type--text paragraph--view-mode--default bullets--red bullets-size--default" > <h2 class="title" id="the-need-for-benchmarking-and-evaluation" > The need for benchmarking and evaluation </h2> <div class="prose xl:prose-lg prose-text"><p>Benchmarking and evaluating AI models—fields where SIB is also active and recognized—are essential for ensuring effectiveness and building user trust. Evaluation is key both for validating model performance and increasing acceptance among potential users. Data resource challenges, such as data heterogeneity, machine readability limitations, and complex metadata needs, present significant barriers to dataset interoperability. The lack of standardized evaluation methods for machine learning models adds complexity to AI integration efforts. CASP and CAMEO (developed at SIB) were cited multiple times as instrumental in advancing AI reliability and performance in structural bioinformatics.</p></div> </div> <div class="title-type-h2 has-title paragraph paragraph--type--text paragraph--view-mode--default bullets--red bullets-size--default" > <h2 class="title" id="a-call-for-standardized-data-sharing-and-security-frameworks" > A call for standardized data sharing and security frameworks </h2> <div class="prose xl:prose-lg prose-text"><p>The AI-Bioscience Summit was an inspiring platform to reinforce the call for standardized data sharing and security frameworks, essential for transparency and cross-border collaboration. SIB is confident that AI will play a crucial role in solving complex biological questions. This Summit was an invaluable opportunity to share perspectives on advancing towards this goal and to emphasize the indispensable role of curated data in AI.</p></div> </div> <div class="title-type-h2 has-title paragraph paragraph--type--text paragraph--view-mode--default bullets--red bullets-size--default" > <h2 class="title" id="global-participation-and-high-level-support" > Global participation and high-level support </h2> <div class="prose xl:prose-lg prose-text"><p>The Summit was co-organized by the US Department of State, Microsoft, the US National Academies, the US National Science Foundation, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
