Indeed, the first fully developed standard is MPAI-CUI – Compression and Understanding of Industrial Data. If you inject financial statements, governance data and risk data (e.g., cyber and seismic) and a time horizon, an implementation of the standard gives you an estimate of the probability that the company defaults, the adequacy of the governance model and the probability that the company has a…

So far MPAI has made big announcements about its plans to develop AI-based data coding standards. In less than two weeks it plans on releasing the first three standards.
