The term „Explainable Multimodal AI“ belongs in the categories of Artificial Intelligence, Digital Transformation, and Industry and Factory 4.0.
Explainable Multimodal AI describes a special type of Artificial Intelligence that can process different types of information simultaneously and make its decisions understandable to people. „Multimodal“ means that the AI can analyse texts, images, sounds, or graphics at the same time, for example. „Explainable“ means that the AI shows exactly how it arrived at a particular decision.
A practical example: In a modern factory, an explainable multimodal AI monitors production. It simultaneously analyses video footage from machines, sensor values, and reports from employees. If the AI indicates a potential fault, it can explain precisely that unusual noises detected in the audio, a changed vibration from the sensor, and an abnormal pattern on the video camera have led to this conclusion.
For decision-makers, this means that AI results will be understandable and more transparent. This allows sources of error to be identified and resolved more quickly, and trust in automated systems increases – an important prerequisite for the successful deployment of artificial intelligence in companies.
