Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG), a committee that maintains various JPEG image-related standards, has started exploring a way to involve AI to build a new compression standard.

In a recent meeting held in Sydney, the group released a call for evidence to explore AI-based methods to find a new image compression codec. The program, aptly named JPEG AI, was launched last year; with a special group to study neural-network-based image codecs.
Under the program, it aims to find possible solutions towards finding a new standard.

The committee said it wants to find proof that AI can do a better job of achieving better compression with large image databases:

"This activity aims to find evidence for image coding technologies that offer substantially better compression efficiency when compared to conventional approaches but relying on models exploiting a large image database."
Plus, researchers have presented several papers on image compression through machine learning models. It’ll be interesting to see a completely new AI-based image codec.
