It will also describe the current plans of the space agencies and private sector for Moon and Mars deployments. It will then describe the proposed solution. This work is being standardized in IETF by the newly formed working group called TIPTOP (Taking IP to Other Planets). A description of the working group, milestones and current work will conclude the presentation.

The IETF has kicked off efforts to standardize preferences for how content is collected and processed for AI model development, deployment, and use. This webinar will dive into the scope, deliverables, and timelines of this important new work.
Details:
The IETF has started work to standardize the building blocks that allow for the expression of preferences about how content is collected and processed for Artificial Intelligence (AI) model development, deployment, and use. The work will be done at the newly created aipref (https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/aipref/about/) working group. This talk will discuss the scope of the work, the expected deliverables and the timeline.
