Technical Specification: Human and Machine Communication (MPAI-HMC) V2.0 – referred to in the following as MPAI-HMC V2.0 or MPAI-HMC – specifies technologies that enable advanced forms of communication between humans in a real space or represented in a Virtual Space, and Machines represented as humanoids in a Virtual Space or rendered as humanoids in a real space.
The HMC communicating parties are generically called Entities. To the extent possible, MPAI-HMC strives to be neutral to the nature – real or virtual – of an Entity.
The word Communication is to be intended to mean that an Entity should have the capability to understand the semantics of the media involved – Text, Speech, Audio, Visual, and 3D Models. Different MPAI-HMC implementations may provide different levels of understanding and responding. At this state, MPAI-HMC does not provide the means to assess an Entity’s capability to understand and provide pertinent responses.
MPAI-HMC V2.0 applies the technologies from HMC (AI Modules) and other MPAI Technical Specifications (AI Modules and Data Types) to the Communicating Entities in Context Use Case as a first instance offering effective forms of human-Machine communication that can be implemented in an interoperable fashion.
MPAI-HMC has been developed by CAE-DC, MMC-DC, PAF-DC, and the MPAI-OSD group of the Requirements Standing Committee.
MPAI may develop future versions of this Technical Specification or new Technical Specifications related to the Human and Machine Communication area.
