  • Post category:MPAI

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…

MPAI Calls for “Connected Autonomous Vehicle” Technologies

  • Post author:
  • Post category:MPAI

(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…

Finally: a conference highlights the synergy of Metaverse and AI

Shanghai, a humongous city of 30 million people, traditionally the commercial heart of China, and many things more has hosted the Global AI Conference 2023 conference, a cluster of events held at different locations of the city. I was invited to give two keynote speeches in two sessions that had metaverse and AI as title. Here I will introduce my second speech whose content was largely influenced by my perceived need to promote understanding of the role of interoperability in…

An Introduction to the MPAI Metaverse Model Architecture – Part III

  • Post author:
  • Post category:MPAI

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…

An Introduction to the MPAI Metaverse Model Architecture – Part I

This is the first of a series of posts that illustrate Call for Technologies: MPAI Metaverse Model – Architecture , a document inviting interested parties to submit comments to and proposals for Use Cases and Functional Requirements: MPAI Metaverse Model – Architecture . "MPAI Metaverse Model Architecture” is the first Metaverse Architecture standard ever attempted by a standards body. Before starting, let's clarify why is MPAI, a standards body developing standards for AI-based data coding, engaged in the “metaverse”? The…
