The MPAI mission as defined by the MPAI Statutes is the promotion of efficient data use by developing AI-enabled data coding standards and bridging the gap between MPAI standards and their practical use through the development of Intellectual Property Rights Guidelines. Establishing and putting in motion an organisation with this ambitious mission was a challenge, however, in its first 15 months MPAI published five standards, on audio, speech, finance, execution of AI apps, and ecosystem governance. In the following year,…

The dozens of metaverse definitions that people have attempted over the years demonstrate that the word conveys different meanings to different people. Without trying to join the attempts, metaverse can be characterised as a system that captures and processes data from the real world, combines it with internally generated data, and creates virtual environments humans interact with. So far, metaverse designers have made independent technology choices, often without considering those of other developers. Recently, however, concerns have been raised about…

Enabling individuals or groups of people to move independently has been a major achievement that has changed human life for the better. Motor vehicles, however, have created a number of negative consequences such as, accidents causing damages, injuries, and deaths; congestion on the roads, millions of cars carrying a single person for a couple of ours and then staying, unused; air pollution, worsening of urban environments, etc. Connected autonomous vehicles (CAV) have the potential to eliminate human error replacing it…

(Freepick image) The global efforts to make the presence of humans less impacting on the Earth that hosts us should include Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAV). Still far away is the moment, however, when it will be possible to all to ask a CAV in plain language to take us to a destination basically executing the functions that we perform when we are behind the wheel. One way to accelerate the coming of that moment is to develop standard for components…

In parts I and II of this series of posts, we have highlighted: The basic elements that enable operation of an M-Instance, especially Processes, Items, Actions and Data Type. In particular, Processes can take the shape of a User (a representative of a human in an M-Instance), a Device (to enable the connection of an M-Instance with the real world, called Universe), and a Service. The functional requirements of an initial list of Actions that enable a Process to do…
