Author(s): DrSwarnenduAI Originally published on Towards AI. See cat. Hear “cat”. Read “cat”. Same concept. Here’s every innovation that made GPT-4V possible. Close your eyes. I say “cat.” mimic human sensoryThe article discusses the advancements in AI, particularly focusing on the development of multimodal AI capabilities that mimic human processing of sensory information. It outlines the timeline of key innovations over a decade, including Word2Vec, attention mechanisms, transformers, BERT, and CLIP, which collectively contribute to creating AI systems that can interpret and understand diverse forms of data—text, images, and audio—simultaneously. The text emphasizes the necessity of these innovations in achieving the current state of AI, exemplified by systems like GPT-4V and outlines how these technologies process information in a unified manner, aiming to bridge the gap between human-like understanding and machine learning. The closing thoughts reflect on future possibilities for AI to simulate human perceptions more closely. Read the full blog for free on Medium. Join thousands of data leaders on the AI newsletter.
