In the AI era, the explosive growth of science and technology resources and interdisciplinary convergence have posed unprecedented challenges to knowledge infrastructure. Ensuring that massive science and technology resources are Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR principles) on a global scale has become a central issue in the development of open science. As the "digital ID card" for digital objects, Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) serve as the critical technical foundation for connecting fragmented knowledge and building a trustworthy research ecosystem.
In this workshop focuses on the opportunities and challenges of PID infrastructure in the AI era, exploring how persistent identifiers empower artificial intelligence to understand and connect scientific knowledge. Representatives from DataCite, South China Botanical Garden, Chinese National Space Data Center and Africa PID Alliance are invited to share practices across different identifier systems and regions
