IBM will launch a snack bar with dishes invented by artificial intelligence

IBM will send a wheeled diner around the cities of the United States where chefs will prepare dishes designed by a specially programmed cognitive computer. Reports about it Eater.

IBM is the world leader in creating cognitive computers — devices that can learn by imitating the workings of the human brain.

Together with DARPA (Agency for Advanced Defense Research Projects of the USA) and the Institute of Culinary Education, she launched a new experiment in which artificial intelligence taught us to understand how well different products are combined and based on this knowledge to invent new dishes.

Residents of many cities in America will be able to try the food from a robotic culinary specialist, who will be picked up by a special van with two chefs who will strictly follow the instructions of the car.

Even before the start of public testing, artificial intelligence spawned such recipes as chocolate burrito, Creole lamb with shrimps and asparagus quiche.

Unlike a simple search engine, a cognitive computer is trying to invent dishes that no one has guessed before, but does not find or combine existing ones. For the first time, a unique van-restaurant was shown at the end of February at the Pulse conference in Las Vegas.

On February 13th, Netflix offered a similar use of artificial intelligence. She is working on a system that will imitate the work of the human brain in order to advise the user of movies and TV shows, guided by hundreds of different parameters.
