A unified approach to AI-based data coding standardisation

1        Introduction Moving Picture, Audio and Data Coding by Artificial Intelligence (MPAI) is an international, non-affiliated, not-for-profit registered in Geneva. MPAI’s mission is to promote the efficient use of Data by developing standards for coding any type of data, especially using new technologies to enable the use of Artificial Intelligence integrating data coding components in Information and Communication Technology systems bridging the gap between standards and their practical use by means of Framework Licenses. While Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are…

MPAI receives technologies for its AI framework standard and calls for technologies supporting audio and human-machine conversation

Geneva, Switzerland – 17 february 2021. At its 5th General Assembly, Moving Picture, Audio and Data Coding by Artificial Intelligence (MPAI), an international, unaffiliated standards association Has kicked off work on its AI Framework (MPAI-AIF) standard after receiving substantial proposed technologies. Is calling for technologies to develop two standards related to audio (MPAI-CAE) and multimodal conversation (MPAI-MMC). Will soon be developing the Framework Licence for the next maturing project “Compression and Understanding of Industrial Data” (MPAI-CUI). MPAI has reviewed responses to…

MPAI standards and AI explainability

Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers great advantages to humans because an appropriately designed AI system can perform tasks that humans may not wish or be able to do, in ways that have degrees of similarity to what humans do. Advances of AI promise to continuously improve AI system performance. In the early 1940's, science fiction writer Isaac Asimov devised the three laws a robot must obey: 1. don't injure a human or allow a human to be injured, 2. obey a…
