Notes:

After welcome and introductions, the composition of the SIG-AI Steering Committee was presented. Daniela Brauner from GÉANT was suggested as interim chair, until further discussions of the committee.
The ToR was presented, shared on the Wiki and the members have until 30/09 to share their comments and suggestions of changes for the final approval.

The SIG may follow a horizontal approach as AI is part of many topics today. The main themes of the SIG AI will be: Cybersecurity, Network Automation, Next Generation Networks, Ethics, Policy and Above-the-Net Applications. The members discussed the importance of other topics as AI for education and agreed to start with a narrower approach, with the focus on AI and its potential applications in networking. For the future, this other topics may be and discussed to be included. Collaboration with other SIGs are also planned: SIG NGN, SIG ISM / GÉANT Security Conference and SIG MSP.

The one year roadmap was presented:

And the members agreed to include a side meeting during TNC and to submit a proposal of a session during TNC2025.

The SIG meetings should preferably be in person, and the Steering Committee meetings preferably remote and once a month.

For the first meeting, in december 2024, Marcin Wolski from (PSNC) accept to be the contact to check viability to host.

For the second meeting, during the GEANT Security Conference, Albert Hankel from (SURF) volunteered to help on organising.

For the SIG-AI First Meeting, the suggestion would be to be hosted by PSNC in Poland, during the second week of December 2024. Marcin Wolski (PSNC) will verify internally in PSNC the viability to host and confirm dates until 30/09/2024. When defined date and location, will be distributed a message for the community inviting people to be part of the SIG, subscribe the mailing list and participate on the first meeting in person.

A wiki page will be created to help on the coordination and organisation of the First Meeting and the draft agenda for the SIG-AI First Meeting will be discussed and detailed on the next SC Meeting.
