Will Artificial Intelligence Be Able To Smell You? | What Are The Benefits?
We are already aware that we can teach machines to see. IoT sensors allow connected cars to take in visual data and make well-informed decisions about what to do next when they’re on the road again.
Today’s artificial intelligence (AI) systems, including the artificial neural networks fundamentally stimulated by the neurons and connections of the nervous system, perform brilliantly at tasks with known hurdles. They are also in constant need of a lot of computational power and immense amounts of training data. This is what makes them extraordinary at playing chess or Pokémon Go, at determining if there’s a physical entity in the picture, and at identifying the differences between animals.
“But they are not as good as the above-listed things when it comes to composing music or writing short scripts. They find it difficult to do reasoning significantly in the world,” said Konrad Kording, a computational neuroscientist at the…
