Patchwork: Syncing on AI 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.
