Today we'll find out what Artificial Intelligence can do in the kitchen! We’re joined by Dr. Jim Hendler of RPI and Chef Gail Sokol. Here’s how it works. Listeners call or email with a list of ingredients in the fridge or cupboard. Jim will input the data into his A.I. interface which will spit out a recipe. Chef Gail Sokol will then take a look at the recipe and see if the computer intelligence knows what it is talking about! Ray Graf hosts
