Human experts spend years roasting and tasting coffee from many places to learn about the beans. They might then combine a coffee bean from Africa with another one from South America to come up with a new blend.

人类专家花费数年时间从许多地方烘焙和品尝咖啡，以了解咖啡豆。 然后，他们可能会将非洲的一种咖啡豆与南美的另一种咖啡豆结合起来，制成一种新的混合物。

But, a coffee roasting company in Helsinki, Finland is hoping that artificial intelligence, or AI, can help ease the workload.

但是，芬兰赫尔辛基的一家咖啡烘焙公司希望人工智能能够帮助减轻工作量。

Kaffa Roastery recently launched its “AI-conic” blend at the Helsinki Coffee Festival. The blend is a mixture of four kinds of beans, including Fazenda Pinhal from Brazil. It is the result of a joint project by Kaffa and Elev, a local AI business.

Kaffa Roastery 最近在赫尔辛基咖啡节上推出了“AI-conic”混合咖啡。 该混合物由四种咖啡豆混合而成，其中包括来自巴西的 Fazenda Pinhal。 它是 Kaffa 和当地人工智能企业 Elev 联合项目的成果。

Elev told The Associated Press that its computer models, similar to ChatGPT and Copilot, created a blend that would “push the boundaries of conventional flavor combinations.”

Elev 告诉美联社，其计算机模型与 ChatGPT 和 Copilot 类似，创造了一种混合物，可以“突破传统风味组合的界限”。

Svante Hampf is the founder of Kaffa Roastery. He and his partners wanted to do an experiment to see what blend the computer would produce.

Svante Hampf 是卡法烘焙工坊的创始人。 他和他的合作伙伴想做一个实验，看看计算机会产生什么混合物。

“We basically gave descriptions of all our coffee types and their flavors to AI and instructed it to create a new exciting blend,” Hampf said.
