What’s not to like about Maltesers - the all-time favourite snack that is associated with good times at the cinemas? But the last year, with the shutdown of picture houses, more people in the UK took to baking. Working with Google, Maltesers deployed machine learning that created an AI-optimised cake and cookie recipes using chopped and whole Maltesers complete with an all-original Malteser buttercream topping.
Lip-smacking cake recipes aside, AI is already being used to identify genetic mutations within tumours, will someday solve future pandemics, predict tsunamis and other natural disasters and potentially learn to fight cancer by detecting cancer cells. All this is made possible by scientists who are implementing deep learning techniques to build a simulated neural network that can compute algorithms and predict results like a human.
