Emerging trends and research directions
Let’s explore the latest developments that are shaping the future of AI agents and generative systems. We’ll look at three main areas where exciting progress is happening: how AI understands multiple types of input, improvements in language understanding, and new ways AI learns from experience, before ending the section with a review of their practical implications.
Multi-modal intelligence – integrating diverse inputs
AI systems are increasingly capable of processing and integrating multiple forms of data—text, images, audio, and video—simultaneously. This multi-modal approach mirrors human perception, allowing for more comprehensive understanding and interaction. For instance, models such as OpenAI’s GPT-4o can process and generate text, images, and audio, enabling functionalities such as the following:
- Visual interpretation: Analyzing images to provide detailed descriptions
- Image...
