By publishing its Manifesto, MPAI has made clear in a few sentences its strategic analysis of the AI industry, what will be its action points and why they will provide benefits. #1 Applications using AI are extending in scope and performance. the AI industry is one of the fastest growing industries. #2 The industry is not developing as fast as it could because there are hurdles. The first is the fact that the AI application development model is based on…
Use of technologies based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) is extending to diverse applications yielding one of the fastest-growing markets in the data analysis and service sector. However, AI is developing more slowly than necessary because it lacks operational reference standards comparable to those that have propelled digital media. Moving Picture, Audio and Data Coding by Artificial Intelligence (MPAI) has identified data coding as a promising area for standardisation. MPAI considers the “AI module” (AIM) and its interfaces as the AI…
Introduction We are about to leave the year 2020, the year that has seen the most virulent pandemic since about a century, but also the year that has seen the death of MPEG as an organisation. That changing a thriving organisation like MPEG into an anodyne entity called SC 29 was a rash move at best is now being discovered by the very architects of the move. THey now say: SC 29 has an inadequate sharing of its activities with…
On 202/12/21 MPAI has held a teleconference to illustrate the MPAI-AIF Call for Technologies (CfT) and associated Framework Licence (FWL). This article summarises the main points illustrated at the teleconference: Whay and who is MPAI, the MPAI-AIF Functional Requirements, the MPAI_AIF Call for Technologies and the MPAI-AIF Framework Licence. The powerpoint presentation is here. Miran Choi, an MPAI Director and Chair of the Communication Advisory Committee, recalled the reasons that led to the establishment of MPAI. Over the past 3…
Moving Picture, Audio and Data Coding by Artificial Intelligence (MPAI) has approved a Call for Technologies (CfT) for publication at its 3rd General Assembly MPAI-3 (2020/12/16). The CfT concerns technologies for MPAI-AIF, acronym of the MPAI AI Framework standard. The goal of MPAI-AIF is to enable set up and execution of mixed processing and inference workflows made of Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and legacy Data Processing components called AI Modules (AIM). The MPAI AI Framework standard will facilitate integration of…
So far, communication standards have been handled in an odd way. Standards are meant to serve the needs of millions, if not billions of people, still the decision about the existence of a standard and what a standard should do is in the hands of people who, no matter how many, are not billions, not millions, not even thousands. This situation is the end point of the unilateral approach adopted by inventors starting, one can say, from Gutenberg’s moving characters…
