The outcomes of this meeting include 1. agreement that there are several open challenges around ML that require community effort in addressing them (such as ethics and IP rights); 2. There is a keen interest in pursuing FAIR for ML, especially around particular implementations (such as metadata and PIDs); 3. A concrete action for the next period is to start the work around a white paper on FAIR for Machine Learning.
