What membership does and does not mean

Membership means a seat in the conversation that shapes how agricultural AI is evaluated: governance participation, working groups, and the opportunity to contribute datasets, expert review hours and domain documents.

It does not mean preferential treatment. Member companies' scores are reported exactly as non-member companies' scores are, and no member may present its own results as a consortium endorsement.

Who should join

Organisations that can contribute relevant datasets, benchmarking capability, AI evaluation experience, or traditional advisory expertise. Members span industry, academia and the nonprofit sector.
