AI and Data Group

The EBU's AI and Data Group defines the AI and Data Initiative strategy and priorities in order to support EBU Members' AI and data usage and strategies. It brings together EBU Member delegates and EBU permanent services delegates, which are directly involved in carrying out strategic, managerial, analytical, technological, legal, content-related or other types of activities related to data usage in their respective organizations.

The main purposes of the group are to:

• identify EBU and Members’ needs and objectives to feed in Members’ AI and data usage and strategies
• foster a comprehensive understanding across the EBU and within Member organizations with regard to AI-and-data-related issues of relevance of the sector
• strengthen synergies among Members wherever appropriate
• develop and decide on the AI and Data Initiative action plan and workflows according to the above-mentioned needs and objectives
• propose priorities for the AI and Data Initiative in accordance with the general objectives of the EBU
• coordinate and monitor the AI and Data Initiative activities as set in the action plan
• provide a forum to facilitate the exchange of information and expertise among all participants
• set up and run a community network involving external academic and experts
• keep links and cooperation as appropriate with relevant institutional and civil society fora

General group activities include Members surveys, a bi-monthly newsletter, quarterly micro-workshops, participation in public consultations, monthly community sync calls, collaborative cataloging of relevant tools, annual reports providing practical guidelines, as well as educational opportunities.
