Mercè Crosas
is the Director of Computational Social Science and Humanities (CSSH) at Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC). This new initiative advances social sciences and humanities research by utilizing new data and specialized AI model systems. Her research aims to provide innovative infrastructures to advance science with transparency and rigor. Her recent interests focus on AI Readiness for science, implementing FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data, workflows, and AI models for transparent and reproducible research, and applying privacy-preserving methods for responsible use of sensitive data. Crosas is also the President of CODATA, the Committee on Data for the International Science Council, and an affiliate researcher of the Institute for Quantitative Social Science at Harvard University.

AI-ready and FAIR data, workflows, and models
The adoption of AI in science is increasing across most scientific fields, from engineering to life, earth, and social sciences, as well as the humanities. To be prepared, we need to go beyond FAIR data (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) and ensure that the data we use is ready, adequate, and well-documented for the new AI-based research workflows, and is described appropriately for transparency and reproducibility of our findings. This talk will discuss the implementation of the FAIR principles on AI-ready data, workflows, and models, and introduce AI readiness in the context of open science.
