Everyone’s shipping. But are we syncing?

​Across  AI, builders are creating new standards for agents, identity, and  payments — sometimes solving problems no one else has seen yet, and  other times solving the same ones differently.

Dozens of  efforts (HCS-14, ERC-8004, x402, FPP, MCP, A2A, Trust Over IP, AGNTCY,  and more) are racing ahead. Each is building a vital piece of  interoperability for the AI stack.

We will also have participation from IEEE, IETF, DTLF, WC3, and additional standards bodies presenting their latest work.

However,  by building in isolation we risk incidental incompatibilities that  could complicate or threaten comprehensive interoperability.

This is a community breather — a space to step back, compare notes, and align the patchwork of standards.

The Advanced AI Society is convening a 4-hour working session to:
 1️⃣ Map the current standards landscape with lightning updates from leading projects and standards bodies.
 2️⃣ Identify overlaps, gaps, and potential collisions.
 3️⃣ Prioritize what needs collective focus next — continuity of identity, agent  discovery, verifiable payments, registry interoperability, and more.

​The gathering will unfold in two parts:

​Part 1 is the mini-conference where we hear from leading protocols in lightning talks and panels.

​Part 2 is the micro-unconference to surface priority areas of work.

​Event will be recorded and streamed online to our Youtube channel.
