AI Governance Working Group Meeting (February 4th)

Hear from experts at our next AI Governance Working Group Meeting February 4th.

AI is transforming every industry — but who’s defining the rules? The EDM Association’s AI Governance Working Group is bringing together practitioners, thought leaders, and innovators to create the definitive framework for governing AI responsibly. This isn’t about adding bureaucracy — it’s about enabling organisations to adopt AI with confidence, balancing innovation with accountability. Whether you’re grappling with the EU AI Act, trying to integrate AI governance with your existing data management practices, or simply asking “where do we even start?” … this is where those answers are being built.

Join us at our next meeting on February 4th. We’re tackling the foundations first: What actually is AI? What does AI governance mean in practice? How does it connect to frameworks you already know like DCAM and CDMC? Join us bi-weekly through as we work through operating models, implementation playbooks, maturity models, and real-world case studies. Your voice, your challenges, your expertise—they belong in this conversation.

Artificial Intelligence Forum Meeting (April 21st)

Hear from experts at our next Artificial Intelligence Forum Meeting April 21st.

The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Forum is a monthly, member-led forum bringing together experienced leaders from across the EDM Association membership to collaborate, exchange insights, and shape best practice for responsible AI.

The Forum provides a trusted space for senior practitioners to explore both the opportunities and challenges of generative AI, with a strong emphasis on the data and analytics foundations that enable AI at scale—data quality, governance, controls, transparency, and accountability. Discussions are practical and experience-driven, focused on real-world implementation rather than theory.

Aligned with the EDM Association’s mission, the AI Forum draws directly on the DCAM™ and CDMC™ frameworks to identify and advance the data management practices required for high-quality, ethical, and well-governed AI. Outcomes from the Forum aim to inform recommendations, guidance, and shared deliverables that help members address ethical, legal, and regulatory expectations with confidence.

AREA Research Webinar | Adaptive AR Guidance and Bichronous XR for Next-Gen Training

Join us for this engaging webinar, “Adaptive AR Guidance and Bichronous XR for Next-Gen Training” hosted by AREA (Augmented Reality for Enterprise Alliance), an EDM Association Community, on February 11th, 2026.

Presenters Bowen Yuan and Hyunwoo Cho, (PhD candidates) and Mark Billinghurst (Director, Australian Research Centre for Interactive and Virtual Environments (IVE)) will showcase a unified research program on next-generation Augmented Reality (AR) task guidance, focusing on adaptive instruction, spatial task segmentation, and hierarchical non-linear workflows. Built on three core systems—focus-aware AR playback, location-based task segmentation, and a dependency-aware guidance framework—the talk shows how AR can sense user attention, interpret task context, and dynamically adapt instructions. Empirical results from controlled studies reveal how gaze and location cues reduce errors, speed attention recovery, and improve review efficiency in multi-location tasks, pointing to scalable, intelligent AR training for real-world environments.

The session also introduces the Bichronous XR Collaboration Framework, which combines asynchronous task review with synchronous real-time correction. Using 3D Action Cues—event-driven spatio-temporal bookmarks—remote experts can quickly spot errors in recorded actions and move into live sessions for targeted support. Study results show this approach cuts task time and cognitive load compared to traditional 2D video.

Attendees will learn:

  • How gaze and location tracking enable adaptive AR task guidance
  • How spatial behavior supports non-linear playback and faster retrieval
  • How dependency-aware workflow models support complex procedures
  • Design principles for deploying adaptive AR in industrial training
  • How bichronous workflows and 3D Action Cues improve remote assistance

AREA Webinar | Reinventing AR User Experience: A Conversation with Amalgamated Vision

AREA Webinar | Reinventing AR User Experience: A Conversation with Amalgamated Vision

Join us for this engaging webinar, “Reinventing AR User Experience: A Conversation with Amalgamated Vision” hosted by AREA (Augmented Reality for Enterprise Alliance), an EDM Association Community, which has been rescheduled to April 29, 2026.

Adam Davis, Founder and CEO of Amalgamated Vision (AV), will present AV’s groundbreaking AR display technology. AV’s approach uses monocular ultra-near-to-eye positioning and a novel optical design that delivers digital content naturally without waveguides or other structural elements that obscure normal vision.

AV’s patented microprojector enables all-day wearable contextual AI at the edge, providing users with critical information exactly when and where it’s needed. The U.S. Air Force and NASA are funding early-stage development to explore applications such as aircraft maintenance and remote medical guidance—environments where dense data and continuous situational awareness are essential. The compact monocular display meets these demands while fitting discreetly behind standard eyewear lenses, paving the way for practical, everyday AR headsets.

A central concept is binocular rivalry, the brain’s ability to blend a monocular digital overlay with the real world. AV’s hardware leverages this physiological phenomenon to reduce cognitive load and minimize the social friction of conventional waveguide smart glasses.

This session is essential for business and technology leaders exploring:

  • How ultra-near-to-eye display differs from waveguide and birdbath systems.
  • The visual processes that enhance comfort and focus for extended use.
  • Why non-occluding optics matter for frontline operations.
  • The advantages of lightweight, low-power engines for AI-at-the-edge applications.
  • What USAF and NASA funding reveals about future AR deployment paths.
