(MENAFN- Market Press Release) November 1, 2025 8:26 am - MPAI – the international, non-profit, unaffiliated organisation developing AI-based data coding standards – has concluded its 61st General Assembly (MPAI-61) approving the publication of a Call for Autonomous User Architecture Technologies.

Geneva, Switzerland – 29th October 2025. MPAI – Moving Picture, Audio and Data Coding by Artificial Intelligence – the international, non-profit, unaffiliated organisation developing AI-based data coding standards – has concluded its 61st General Assembly (MPAI-61) approving the publication of a Call for Autonomous User Architecture Technologies (

With this Call for Technologies, formally“Pursuing Goals in metaverse (MPAI-PGM) – Autonomous User Architecture (PGM-AUA)”, MPAI is aiming at a standard enabling Autonomous Users to perform activities such as moving around and conversing with other Users. These are processes representing humans in a metaverse conforming with the MPAI Metaverse Model Technologies standard (MMM-TEC They can either operate with a high degree of autonomy (A-Users) or be directly controlled by humans (H-Users).

PGM-AUA will rely on the friendly MMM-TEC environment and many relevant technologies already available in the 16 approved MPAI standards ( However, the ambitious PGM-AUA goal requires many new technologies that the Call is designed to secure.

The text of the call and associated document is available at Responses are due to the MPAI Secretariat (...unity) by 2025/01/21T23:59.

Register to attend the online presentation of the call and its associated documents on 17 November at 9 UTC ( and 16 UTC (

MPAI-61 has also approved the new versions of standards previously posted for Community Comments:
