Artificial Intelligence Framework (MPAI-AIF)

AI Framework (MPAI-AIF) is an MPAI standard designed to enable environments (AIF) to execute AI Workflows (AIW) composed of basic components called AI Modules (AIM). It is a foundational MPAI standard on which other MPAI application standards are built. The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) has adopted MPAI-AIF V1 with the name IEEE 3301-2022.

Visit the About MPAI-AIF page for an introduction to the MPAI-AIF V1 and V2 standards.

Technical Specification: AI Framework  (MPAI-AIF) specifies architecture, interfaces, protocols, and API of a secure environment specially designed for execution of AI-based applications implemented as AI workflows (AIW) of AI modules (AIM). Version 2 extends the capabilities of Version 1 making it easier for AI application developers to support security in their applications.
