1. **Smell Digitization**  
A startup called Osmo, co-founded by a former Google scientist, is working on teaching AI to understand and predict smells, potentially enabling scent-based disease detection in the future.

2. **Training Dataset**  
Osmo has created a “smell map” with labeled molecular bond associations to train its AI to identify specific smell patterns, a significant leap in scent recognition technology.

3. **Scent Teleportation**  
The company plans to develop technology for recreating and transmitting smells via molecular synthesis, allowing scents to be “teleported” over the internet, expanding the possibilities for marketing and branding.
