Geneva, Switzerland – 26 October 2022. Today the international, non-profit, unaffiliated Moving Picture, Audio and Data Coding by Artificial Intelligence (MPAI) standards developing organisation has concluded its 25th General Assembly (MPAI-25). Among the outcomes is the decision, based on substantial inputs received in response to its Calls for Technologies, to extend three of its existing standards and to initiate the development of two new standards. The three standards being extended are: AI Framework (MPAI-AIF). AIF is an MPAI-standardised environment where…

Moving Picture, Audio, and Data Coding by Artificial Intelligence – MPAI – was established two years ago, on 30 September 2020.. It is a good time to review what it has done, what it plans on doing, and how the machine driving the organisation works. These are the main results of the 2nd year of MPAI activity (the activities of the first year can be found here). Approved the MPAI-AIF (AI Framework) and MPAI-CAE (Context-based Audio Enhancement) Technical Specifications. Approved…

The goal of the MPAI Multimodal Conversation (MPAI-MMC) standard is to enable forms of human-machine conversation that emulate the human-human one in completeness and intensity. While this is clearly a long-term goal, MPAI is focusing on standards providing frameworks which break down – where possible – complex AI functions to facilitate the formation of a component market where solution aggregators can find AI Modules (called AIM) to build AI Workflows (called AIW) corresponding to standard use cases. The AI Framework…
