Multimodal AI
AI systems that can process and generate multiple types of data such as text, images, audio, and video.
In-Depth Explanation
Multimodal AI refers to systems that can understand and work with multiple types of data (modalities) together. They can process combinations of text, images, audio, and video, understanding relationships between them.
Modality types:
- Text: Language understanding
- Vision: Images, video
- Audio: Speech, sounds
- Structured: Tables, databases
Multimodal capabilities:
- Image understanding + text generation
- Text-to-image generation
- Video understanding
- Audio transcription + analysis
- Cross-modal search
Examples:
- GPT-4V, Claude Vision (text + images)
- DALL-E, Stable Diffusion (text → images)
- Whisper (audio → text)
- Gemini (text, images, audio, video)
Business Context
Multimodal AI enables richer applications: analysing documents with images, understanding video content, and creating visual content from descriptions.
