The 106th JPEG meeting was held online from January 6 to 10, 2025. During this meeting, the first image coding standard based on machine learning technology, JPEG AI, was sent for publication as an International Standard. This is a major achievement as it leverages JPEG with major trends in imaging technologies and provides an efficient standardized solution for image coding, with nearly 30% improvement over the most advanced solutions in the state-of-the-art. JPEG AI has been developed under the auspices of three major standardization organizations: ISO, IEC and ITU.
