Message

“In my role at Sony AI, I help set the strategy for the gastronomy project and build relationships with companies across the food industry. In doing so, I am working closely with the Sony AI tech teams to drive projects around food manipulating cooking robots and AI recipe creation systems, with the ambition of advancing taste, sustainability and health in gastronomy. I hope to help build Sony AI into a major global contributor to AI and creativity.”
