Explore the world of scent detection and creation with our special guest, Alex Wiltschko, Founder and CEO of Osmo. Alex is giving computers a sense of smell to improve the health and happiness of human life.
From discussing the complexities of mapping smell using artificial intelligence to the lexicon used by perfumers to standardize their work, Alex takes us on a scented journey that’s bound to whet your olfactory appetite. You’ll be intrigued by how olfactory sensory neurons express 350 distinct channels of information and how AI can predict smells based on the molecular structure.
Alex shares his insights about a unique project they’ve been working on with the Gates Foundation to create molecules that smell good to humans but repel insects. We dive into the prospect of finding safe, affordable, and great smelling molecules via AI, and how this can have a profound impact on products we use every day.
Finally, we shift the conversation to the use of large language models in creating natural language interfaces. Alex shares how Osmo is using AI to ‘open the window of computation to smells’ and how this technology can potentially make us healthier and happier.
