Multimodal AI
Multimodal AI refers to artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can process, understand and generate outputs across multiple types of data – or modalities – such as text, images, audio and video. By integrating information from different sources, multimodal AI enables more comprehensive understanding and context-aware responses. For example, a multimodal AI can analyze an image and answer questions about it using natural language. This capability supports advanced applications like AI-powered virtual assistants, medical diagnostics, content moderation and interactive media. Multimodal AI enhances user experiences and decision-making by bridging the gap between how humans naturally perceive and communicate across modalities.
