Cross-Modal Retrieval: Why It Matters for Multimodal AI

There has been a lot of discussion around multimodal AI recently — how these systems can be built, open source options, small-scale alternatives, as well as tools for addressing fairness and bias in multimodal AI.

With its ability to simultaneously process different data types (think text, image, audio, video and more), the continuing development of multimodal AI represents the next step that would help to further enhance a wide range of tools — including those for generative AI and autonomous agentic AI.

To that end, improving how…
