Compared to H.264/AVC, you can get the same level of video quality in ~half the bandwidth (or double your quality for the same bandwidth).
Compared to H.265/HEVC, AV1 has no patents and so anyone can implement it without worrying about licensing (there seem to 3+ groups that need to be paid off).
The trade-off is that it is more computation intensive than H.264 (as is H.265).
