S5E48 Kordel France | Olfactory AI

Send us a textToday, we are thrilled to host an episode with an exceptional guest pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence. Kordel France discussed the challenges and potential of digitizing scents. He highlighted the need for a standard data format for olfactory AI and the complexities of detecting and analyzing air molecules. Kordel emphasized the importance of olfactory AI in various industries, including automotive for HVAC systems and quality control, and aerospace for detecting chemical leaks. He predicted that reliable olfactory AI for consumer products is 10 years away, while navigation and aerospace applications could be achieved sooner. France also stressed the need for better integration of AI with hardware and the importance of team collaboration in engineering.Main Topics Covered:Kordel's background and early interest in engineeringThe concept of olfactory AI and the lack of research in this areaCurrent state and future potential of olfactory AI technologyApplications of olfactory AI in the automotive industryChallenges in developing olfactory AI systemsIntegrating AI with mechanical systemsThe future of autonomous vehiclesAdvice for young engineersAbout the guest: Kordel France, an AI architect and technologist, is at the forefront of developing machine olfaction—teaching robots to smell.
