Some trees make a special smell. People use this smell for perfume. The smell is very expensive. Some people cut down the trees to get it. This hurts the trees. Now the trees are in danger.
Making scents: could AI help perfumers take pressure off endangered plants?
Easy
A team uses a computer to learn smells. The computer is smart. It can make a new smell from a small piece of a tree. This new smell is like the old smell. No one needs to cut the tree.
But some people say this is not good. They say making a fake smell does not save the tree. People still want the real smell. The problem is not just the smell. The trees have other problems too.
