The Chef of the Future Could Be a Robot—IBM Is Cooking Up Another Assault on Skilled Labor
‘There was once a time when all dirty dishes needed to be cleaned by hand. Warm water, soap, scrubbing — all necessary. Then came the all-powerful dishwasher, a near necessity in American homes and food establishments. Small appliances like the microwave, toaster oven, blender and electric mixer have all made kitchen tasks unarguably easier, but with technology advancing at an unprecedent rapid rate, how long until inventions totally change the way we prepare food?
IBM’s Watson, a robot who calls the East Village of Manhattan home, may not need food to survive, but this artificially intelligent machine is equipped to feed the masses.
With Cognitive Cooking, the technology company has developed a food truck where a computer does the work. Chefs can say goodbye to occupational hazards like cuts and burns — programmming is the new cheffing with this technology.’
