Swedish Distillery And Microsoft Develop The World's First AI-Created WhiskeyPosted by Eyerys on May 17th, 2019 Microsoft's focus has long been on Windows. But in the modern days of tech, the company is working on many things beside its popular operating system, and into cloud computing, and many others that are powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI). While humans have created a lot of beverages, Microsoft also wants a bit of its taste by partnering with Finnish tech company Fourkind and Swedish distillery Mackmyra Whisky. And the result is a product considered to be the world's first AI-generated whiskey. According to Angela D’Orazio, Master Blender at Mackmyra: "We always strive to challenge the traditions in the very traditional whiskey trade, and that’s something we can really do now with the help of AI. We see AI as a part of our digital development, and it is really exciting to let AI be a complement to the craft of producing a high-quality whiskey."
"For me as a Master Blender, it is a great achievement to be able to say that I’m now also a mentor for the first ever created AI whisky in the world."  Like it? Share it! More by this author |
