AI-based algorithm may help store more pics, share videos faster

Washington: A new artificial-intelligence (AI) based algorithm may help people store more pictures and share videos faster, scientists say.

The world produces about 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every day, said researchers from Pennsylvania State University in the US.

Storing and transferring all of this enormous — and constantly growing — number of images, videos, Tweets, and other forms of data is becoming a significant challenge, they said.

It threatens to undermine the growth of the internet and thwart the introduction of new technologies, such as the Internet of Things.
