The PSI will continue its efforts to maintain and enhance existing standards to meet emerging needs. While many of the current PSI standards focus primarily on datadependent acquisition workflows, more efforts are needed to apply standardization to data-independent acquisition workflows. As software development leads to ever greater automation and artificial intelligence, the PSI should continue to foster the development and implementation of APIs and interchange systems that allow intelligent agents and software to interoperate in ways so that end-users need not concern themselves with which standards are being used, but rather rely on an ecosystem of formats, APIs, and software that allows them to focus only on their science.
