AI systems depend heavily on high-quality, well-governed data. The ODI’s AI-Ready Data Framework highlights how standardising dataset properties and metadata builds the reliable, shared foundation necessary to ensure trust, interoperability, and scalable innovation in modern AI systems. Building on this framework Andrew Newman, the ODI’s data standards lead, and a panel of industry experts, will discuss approaches to standardising data and how this can unlock the true scalable potential of modern AI technologies.
