The blog post discusses the challenges and complexities associated with managing multimodal data, which includes images, videos, and documents for enterprise-scale AI, as it evolves. The evolution of multimodal data is driven by various factors such as annotations, embeddings, new classifications, and just new data. Traditional relational databases fall short due to their rigid schemas that aren't compatible with the dynamic relationships in multimodal data. Tracking and managing versions of datasets used for training AI models can be tedious and costly. Scaling issues, seamlessly integrating data updates into processing pipelines, and maintaining consistent views across disjointed databases are additional challenges. Towards the end, the blog concludes with how these requirements have led to the design and development of ApertureDB, a database purpose-built for multimodal AI.
