MPAI releases new version of Neural Network Watermarking Reference Software; starts new project on XR Venues - Live Theatrical Stage Performance

Geneva, Switzerland - 22 November 2023. MPAI, Moving Picture, Audio and Data Coding by Artificial Intelligence, the international, non-profit, and unaffiliated organisation developing AI-based data coding standards has concluded its 38th General Assembly (MPAI-38) approving the release of a new version of its Neural Network Watermarking reference software and the start of the development of the new XR Venues - Live Theatrical Stage Performance standard.
The new version of the Neural Network Watermarking (MPAI-NNW https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-nnw/) reference software makes it possible to upgrade conventional AI-based processing workflows with traceability and integrity checking functions. For instance, it is now possible to add AI Modules to an MPAI-AIF workflow to detect whether a particular text was indeed produced by the expected service or AI Module (AIM).

The XR Venues (MPAI-XRV) - Live Theatrical Stage Performance (https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-xrv/) standard project specifies functions and interfaces of AI Modules designed to automate live multisensory immersive stage performances which ordinarily require extensive on-site show control staff to operate. By running AI Workflows (AIW) composed of AIMs, it will be possible to obtain a more direct, precise yet spontaneous show implementation and control of multiple complex systems to achieve the show director's vision.
MPAI is continuing its work plan that involve the following activities:
1.AI Framework (MPAI-AIF https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-aif/): reference software, conformance testing, and application areas.
2. AI for Health (MPAI-AIH https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-aih/) development of the standard.
3. Context-based Audio Enhancement (CAE-DC https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-cae/): new projects.
4. Connected Autonomous Vehicle (MPAI-CAV https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-cav/): Functional Requirements of CAV architecture.
5.Compression and Understanding of Industrial Data (MPAI-CUI https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-cui/): preparation for extension of existing standard.
6. Multimodal Conversation (MPAI-MMC https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-mmc/): reference software, drafting conformance test-ing, and new areas.
7. MPAI Metaverse Model (MPAI-MMM https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-mmm/): reference software and metaverse technologies requiring standards.
8. Neural Network Watermarking (MPAI-NNW https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-nnw/): reference software for enhanced applications.
9. Portable Avatar Format (MPAI-PAF https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-ara/): reference software, conformance testing and new areas.
10. End-to-End Video Coding (MPAI-EEV https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-eev/): video coding using AI-based End-to-End Video coding.
11. AI-Enhanced Video Coding (MPAI-EVC https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-evc/). video coding with AI tools added to existing tools.
12. Server-based Predictive Multiplayer Gaming (MPAI-SPG https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-spg/): technical report on mitigation of data loss and cheating.
13. XR Venues (MPAI-XRV https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-xrv/): preparation for the development of the standard.
