Have you ever caught your computer sniffing your morning coffee?

No? Well, get ready, because AI researchers are teaching computers how to smell, and I'm not even kidding!

Imagine an AI that doesn't just beat you at chess but can also out-sniff you in a perfume guessing game.

Researchers are developing AI systems that can detect diseases from breath samples faster than a doctor's nose (and certainly faster than your dog, though he's still cuter).

Why should you care about a computer's sense of smell?

Well, because it's transforming healthcare, security, and even food safety.

And bring technology one step closer to being humanlike. Is this a good thing, maybe, maybe not, time will tell!
