…and that is the number that separates us from the pre-digital age. Why should the 6th of November 1992 be the beginning of the digital age?? Well, because 30 years ago, this very day, MPEG approved its first – MPEG-1 – standard. I am sure that some of you would want to disagree, not with the anniversary, but with its significance. So let me insist and say that MPEG-1 is the dividing line between the digital age and whatever age…
MPAI, the international, unaffiliated, non-profit organisation developing AI-based data coding standards with clear Intellectual Property Rights licensing frameworks, is now offering those wishing to join MPAI the opportunity to start their 2023 membership two months in advance, from the 1st of November 2022.

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).

Introduction Research efforts, specific skills, training and processing can cumulatively bring the development costs of a neural network anywhere from a few thousand to a few hundreds of thousand dollars. Therefore, the AI industry needs a technology to ensure traceability and integrity not only of a neural network but also of the content generated by it (so-called inference). Faced with a similar problem, the digital content production and distribution industry has considered watermarking as a tool to insert a payload…
