Activities:
TC56 was formally established and the committee holds regular teleconference meetings to work on the development of a natural language interaction protocol (NLIP) standard that will specify a common protocol, framework and interfaces for interactions between AI agents.
NLIP is a specification for a universal application level protocol which can enable communication among two agents. The protocol is developed by TC56 to become an Ecma standard. The Enterprise Neurosystems Group (ENG), an open-source consortium, is acting as an advisory group to TC56 providing feedback on the drafts being developed and different topics. This allows for feedback from a wider community of experts.
Currently, TC56 works on the development of two draft standards (NLIP specification + NLIP over HTTPS/REST) and one technical report (Overview of NLIP). To facilitate public review and feedback, the drafts can be consulted on the NLIP GitHub.
