Here Is The First Job That Disappears With Artificial Intelligence. The Next?
Warehouse workers are replaced by robots (but not entirely), as well as waiters and pizza chefs (these are not completely replaced either) and some legal advisors. All professions currently hold their own against algorithms and machines.
But when artificial intelligence becomes better than us, the only solution is to give way to it.
Sommeliers have already experienced this replacement by AI. The first in a series of other professions being replaced by robots and AI.
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), based in Maryland, have in fact created an artificial intelligence capable of “tasting” wine with more than 95% accuracy.
According to its creators, the new AI technology developed by US scientists turned out to be more efficient (albeit less fun) than a wine tasting expert.
We are therefore faced with a “more powerful but less fun” method of tasting wines.
THE EXPERIMENT THAT OPENED THE DOOR
The researchers tested their technology on a sample using 148 wines from a data set of 178 produced from three grape varieties.
