This has been converted from the original issue to cover challenges only, the opportunities are better covered by other working groups (especially the ML one mentioned above).

I deemed the impact medium because although ML can exploit data in new ways, the data collection, curation, standardisation and sharing has to come before this is possible.

I deemed the likelihood as medium because ML outputs will probably become one of the important data streams for ICES but traditional streams will continue to be crucial as well.
