Meta has launched ImageBind, a new AI process that enables systems to understand multiple inputs for more accurate recommendations. The process enables the system to learn associations between text, image, video, audio, depth, and thermal inputs. These elements can provide more accurate spatial cues, allowing the system to produce more accurate representations and associations, taking AI experiences closer to emulating human responses. ImageBind could have significant use cases, including facilitating the creation of more accurate VR worlds and boosting creative design. For example, using ImageBind, Meta’s Make-A-Scene could create images from audio, such as creating an image based on the sounds of a rainforest. ImageBind could also be used in more immediate ways to advance in-app processes, such as adding the perfect audio clip to a video or suggesting background noise to create an immersive experience.
