A new startup is using AI to help computers generate smells in order to improve healthcare and make safer, aromas for consumer goods.
Can your AI smell better? That’s the goal of Osmo, a startup using artificial intelligence technology to help computers “generate smells like we generate images and sounds,” according to the company’s website.
CEO and co-founder Alex Wiltschko believes giving computers the ability to process scent can help with healthcare. “We’ve known that smell contains information we can use to detect disease, but computers can’t speak that language and can’t interpret that data yet,” he told CNBC.
He also wants to make safer, more sustainable fragrances for products like perfume, shampoo, insect repellant and laundry detergent.
“Those products will usually have fragrance in them designed by a very small number of secretive companies,” Wiltschko said. “We think we can do better with them by building better and safer ingredients that aren’t toxic…and don’t irritate your skin or your eyes.”
Smells like AI spirit?
