French broadcaster and streaming platform TF1 Group is among the first organisations to join a new AI research programme aiming to advance multimodal and generative AI video understanding with low-energy-consumption models.
The programme, launched by AI and video search company, Moments Lab (formerly Newsbridge), focuses on long-form video understanding, vision-language models and information retrieval with a strong emphasis on building low-energy consumption AI indexing models to learn fair representations of a diverse and multicultural world, said the company.
“What Moments Lab is achieving with its next-gen AI indexing models aligns with TF1’s ambition to evolve our Group and future ways of working with cutting-edge technology,” said Olivier Penin, director of innovation at TF1 Group. “Our goal is to increase productivity and enhance video storytelling through the effective use of AI in media indexing. We know that we will make exciting progress in this area as research partners.”
TF1 is joined by Telecom SudParis, France’s leading public graduate school for engineering and Moments Lab expects to announce additional research partners shortly. A dedicated website will publish its findings.
