Does an AI tool could do multiple duties the same time?

Yes, it can. Such artificial intelligence tools are known as multimodal AI tools. Which can do different tasks the same time, like a human.

What is multimodal AI?

Multimodal AI is a type of artificial intelligence that can process multiple kinds of data, such as text, image, video, audio, etc. With the help of all these kinds of data, multimodal AI simultaneously gives us output that is more meaningful and accurate.

How does it work?

Humans experience senses like sight, hearing, smell, and taste, and at the same time, multimodal AI uses the same method with which an AI tool can receive and process various types of prompts.

Instead of using different AI tools for different purposes, technology made it all under one roof. Advancements like multimodal AI are more effective and less time-consuming than the unimodal AI tools.

Daily life examples

• While posting a photo on social media, multimodal AI can suggest suitable background music and captions.
• We could generate an image from text and then convert the image to a visual story and post it on social media.

 Popular Multimodal AI examples

• Google Gemini (1.5 Pro/Flash)- It is made to understand various types of inputs including text, images, audio, video, and code
• Meta ImageBind – Meta ImageBind is a multimodal AI which have access to six types of data such as images/video, text, audio, depth maps, thermal images, and Inertial Measurement Units (IMU)
• GPT-4o-This multimodal AI processes different types of data such as text audio and images.

Future of Multimodal AI

As the scope and possibility of AI increasing day by day, a multimodal AI will assist humans in different sectors like healthcare, teaching and coding. In healthcare it helps  in diagnosing, making complex videos and topics simple, and helping developers in coding.

There are many other possibilities which AI is not only receiving text and audio as inputs but also it receives our thoughts and imagination, this situation is hypothetical, however a future like this is not very far from us. And if this happens, it may lead to many progressions and complexities. And also, there is a possibility of creating immersive worlds which means the artificial intelligence is interpreting in our daily life.

As the AI is acquiring more human characteristics, there is a need for us to be aware and responsible while using AI tools in our daily life. Understanding how it works will help us to use it in a way that is beneficial for society.
