What makes humans different to AI?

Is it because we can…

  • derive meaning through multiple senses?
  • make unique interpretations of images and text?
  • read between the lines – and see the bigger picture?

By thinking laterally, humans are able to deliver creative solutions to diverse real-world problems. Computers however, have been limited to plain meanings and literal interpretations.

That is, until now.

Explore a cutting-edge paradigm

Multimodal AI is bridging the gap between human and computer intelligence. The future of technology, it’s enabling machines to combine various data types – such as images, text, speech and numbers – to achieve a richer, more holistic way of thinking and understanding.

In this Monash Tech Talks event, get ahead of the trend by hearing from a leading panel of specialists and industry experts who will speak about:

  • low-level multimodal perception (vision and language), video/image understanding, automatic translation and multilingual systems, and higher-level reasoning for decision-making.
  • multimodal navigation in self-driving cars and other autonomous technology.
  • real-life applications and benefits of multimodal AI in healthcare, finance, retail, business and other sectors – with examples from eBay, Google, Amazon and more.
  • how multimodal AI can contribute to social good.
