19 July 2020:  the idea of MPAI Moving Picture, Audio and Data Coding by Artificial Intelligence has a twofold mission: to develop standards for compression of video, audio and data, and to bridge the gap between its standards and their practical use. 19 July 2021: MPAI is not just an idea This is how far we’ve come MPAI established as a formal organisation based in Geneva 40 members Standard development process adopted 10 standards projects under way 4 standards under development…

Problem statement In the real world, a supply contract has at least three elements: the technical characteristics of the product the commercial terms, and the delivery date. These are vital elements for business. Indeed, the buyer would not be happy to discover that the product ordered has twice the volume, costs twice as much or is delivered one year later than the time agreed. The buyer who had known that before would probably have placed the order to a different…

What it is MPAI – Moving Picture, Audio and Data Coding is an unaffiliated, non-profit, international association with the mission to develop data coding standards, predominantly using Artificial Intelligence. The MPAI Manifesto summarises the MPAI distinctive features. The main MPAI target is “data coding” that MPAI defines as the transformation of data from a given representation to an equivalent one more suited to a specific application, e.g., compression or semantics extraction. How it works MPAI develops standards using a rigorous…

Introduction AI systems have typically been trained. Humans, too, are trained. However, it may happen that, in spite one's effort to train a pupil according to strict moral principles, he turns out to be a libertine in life. An illustrious, so to speak, example, is Iosip Stalin who, from a catholic seminarist in Georgia turned into something else. AI systems, typically do not possess the freedom to evolve beyond their training. Therefore, trained AI systems carry the imprint of their…
