Susana Soares’s design work is as fascinating as the science behind it:

Scientific research has demonstrated that bees have an extraordinarily acute sense of smell and can be trained to perform health checks by detecting a specific odour in peoples’ breath.

Commander Dataの時代に考えられていた人工知能は、コンピュータの論理回路の超高速な馬鹿力に頼る、というものだったが、しかし成功したシステムはロジックのルールよりもむしろ、実例を利用した。過去の大量の問題とその(論理的というより確率的な)解をコンピュータに与え、それらの実例から、目の前の問題の解を”見つけ出させる”のだ。とくに、人工知能の最近の主な進歩は。そのようにして、不確かな条件下での推論を行わせる分野で顕著だ。
