AI System Mimics Human Taste and Emotion to Potentially Curate Personalized Diets

Artificial Gustatory System The electronic tongue and gustatory cortex use 2D materials and can ‘taste’ different substances, with potential to mimic the complexity of human taste receptors.

Emotional Intelligence The research emphasizes incorporating emotional aspects into AI, such as psychological urges influencing eating even when physiologically satisfied.

Future Applications Potential applications include developing AI systems that can curate diets, offer personalized meal suggestions, and potentially be applied in sectors like food tasting.

Sensory Enhancement This research could pave the way for enhancing AI’s sensory and emotional intelligence in domains beyond taste.

Integrated Chip The next step is developing an integrated gustatory chip to further simplify the artificial taste system.
