Abstract	The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has moved beyond systems designed to process individual data modalities toward multimodal architectures capable of integrating text, images, audio, video, structured data, sensor information, and other heterogeneous sources. Multimodal Artificial Intelligence (MAI) provides new opportunities for integrated knowledge discovery by identifying relationships and patterns across diverse forms of information. This study examines the role of multimodal AI in knowledge discovery and innovation through a qualitative and comparative analysis of contemporary research. It investigates multimodal representation learning, cross-modal information fusion, multimodal large language models, knowledge graphs, retrieval-augmented generation, and AI-assisted scientific discovery. Applications across healthcare, education, scientific research, business intelligence, engineering, environmental monitoring, and creative industries are examined. The analysis indicates that multimodal AI can improve contextual understanding, reduce information fragmentation, support more comprehensive decision-making, and accelerate innovation by combining complementary evidence from multiple sources. Nevertheless, challenges remain concerning data alignment, model reliability, hallucination, computational requirements, bias, explainability, intellectual-property protection, and privacy. The study argues that the future of integrated knowledge discovery will increasingly depend on architectures that combine multimodal foundation models, structured knowledge representations, domain-specific datasets, human expertise, and responsible AI governance. Multimodal AI therefore represents a significant transition from single-source machine intelligence toward integrated systems capable of interpreting and synthesizing complex real-world information.
