We sell perfumes to get to Shazam for smell, and then we build both of those businesses to ultimately detect disease, which is, that's the Holy Grail.

The Neuron: AI Explained

I mean, I can see a path to detecting scent already today.

The Neuron: AI Explained

We want to make that something that is moving towards being pocketable and more affordable.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Teaching Computers to Smell?! The AI That's Digitizing Scent

It's not quite yet affordable.

The Neuron: AI Explained
