Are your video calls dropping? AI is here to help keep us connected while working from home

With the relocation of so many people from offices equipped with enterprise-level bandwidth, to measly residential wi-fi connections during COVID-19, it is not surprising that networks are overloaded and zoom call quality can be low. Researchers at NVIDIA have developed a solution to the problem effecting millions of workers across the world. They are using neural networks – a technique utilized in AI — to replace outdated video transmission practices. Not only is this technology improving the quality of calls for existing video users, but it is also broadening accessibility for those who did not have sufficient bandwidth to make video calls previously.
