The first artificial intelligence models were limited to a single type of data: text, image, or audio. Today, thanks to multimodal AI, systems can understand and generate content that integrates several formats at once.
An example is a model that analyzes a photograph and describes what is happening in it, or receives a text instruction to create a video with narration included. It is even possible to upload an image and ask the system to generate a story based on it.
Multimodal AI opens doors in areas such as education, entertainment, marketing, and accessibility, helping people with visual or hearing impairments access information in new ways.
We are entering an era where artificial intelligence communicates as humans do, through multiple channels at the same time.
