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](https://thenextweb.com/neural/2020/02/20/jpeg-committee-is-banking-on-ai-to-build-its-next-image-codec/). From a report:

> _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. To do that, it has partnered with IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) to call for papers under the Learning-based Image Coding Challenge. These papers will be presented at the International Conference of Image Processing (ICIP) scheduled to be held at Abu Dhabi in October._
