As multiple UN fora develop parallel rules for sharing benefits from digital sequence information, we urge better coordination. International policymakers should focus on harmonizing new benefit-sharing rules to ensure open access to data, database interoperability, and better benefit sharing outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- Automation of surveillance of infectious diseases can streamline processes and enhance quality but faces implementation barriers.
- The manuscript discusses the pros and cons of two strategies for automated surveillance: centralized and localized systems.
- The concept of federated automated surveillance is proposed as a potential solution to challenges, facilitating better data access, maintaining privacy, and promoting international collaboration in monitoring healthcare-associated infections and severe respiratory illnesses.*
Biobanking infrastructures, which are crucial for responding early to new viral outbreaks, share pathogen genetic resources in an affordable, safe, and impartial manner and can provide expertise to address access and benefit-sharing issues. The European Virus Archive has had a crucial role in the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic by distributing EU-subsidised (free of charge) viral resources to users worldwide, providing non-monetary benefit sharing, implementing access and benefit-sharing compliance, and raising access and benefit-sharing awareness among members and users. All currently available SARS-CoV-2 material in the European Virus Archive catalogue, including variants of concern, are not access and benefit-sharing cases per se, but multilateral benefit-sharing has nevertheless occurred.
