If you’ve ever learned to cook, you know how daunting even simple tasks can be at first. It’s a delicate dance of ingredients, movement, heat, and techniques that newcomers need endless practice to master.
But imagine if you had someone – or something – to assist you. Say, an AI assistant that could walk you through everything you need to know and do to ensure that nothing is missed in real-time, guiding you to a stress-free delicious dinner.
Claudio Silva, director of the Visualization Imaging and Data Analytics (VIDA) Center and professor of computer science and engineering and data science at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering and NYU Center for Data Science, is doing just that. He is leading an initiative to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) “virtual assistant” providing just-in-time visual and audio feedback to help with task execution.
