MIT's new AI can keep streaming video from buffering

Buffering and pixelation are the scourge of streaming video. It ruins the experience for viewers, robs advertisers of revenue as said viewers tune out, and causes technical headaches for streaming services which have to engineer solutions. But a new neural network AI from MIT CSAIL may be just what the internet needs for velvety smooth streaming services. That would take entirely too much bandwidth. So instead, that data is chopped up into smaller pieces and sent sequentially.
