5. AI Can Smell Now

Another day, another thing that only humans used to be able to do that can now be done by machines. The latest is smelling. While it seems novel or for-the-sake-of-science-only at first, just imagine the robot chefs in our future!

4. Coca-Cola’s Newest Flavor Was Designed By AI

It wouldn’t be a contemporary trend without the world’s biggest market jumping on it. Coca-Cola’s latest in a series of futuristic flavors was designed…you guessed it…by AI. So what does Y3000 taste like? According to Coke, “the future.”

3. The Skeptics of Schumer’s Summit

Later today, a group of tech luminaries will join with politicials and civil rights advocates for a closed-door AI summit. Pretty great public-private collaboration right? Na, says (of course) Elizabeth Warren. It’s just big tech billionaires trying to lobby out of the public’s eye.

2. Salesforce Announces Latest AI Integrations

Salesforce held its big Dreamforce event in San Francisco, and of course, AI was everywhere. Interestingly though, it seems to represent a next-stage of enterprise AI, where the focus is on customizability to meet more precise business needs.

1. How AI Is Remaking iPhones and Watches

While other companies splash ‘AI’ all over their marketing, Apple continues to focus on quiet AI integrations. At yesterday’s iPhone/Watch event, one of the most exciting announcements was the new four core “neural engine” chip which can process tasks twice as fast and opens up totally new applications.
