Multimodal AI

Multimodal AI refers to artificial intelligence systems capable of processing and integrating multiple types of data inputs simultaneously, such as text, images, audio, and video. Unlike traditional AI models that focus on a single data type, multimodal AI combines various inputs to achieve a more comprehensive understanding and generate more robust outputs. This approach mimics human cognition, which naturally integrates information from multiple senses to form a complete perception of the world. By leveraging diverse data sources, multimodal AI can perform complex tasks like image captioning, visual question answering, and cross-modal content generation.
