Using AI in the Food Industry with Grounded Research

This week, Kara Webb and Clare Otridge will join us to discuss AI technology in the food industry. This episode begins with a discussion about GPT-4's token prediction, laying the groundwork for understanding the potential of AI in our daily operations. 

We discuss AI's role in streamlining processes. Issues such as data security and potential misuse of technology. We delve into the ethics of AI, the risk of "fake content" generation, and the balance needed between human creativity and machine efficiency.

Kara and Clare guide us through understanding emotional analysis in market research, the potential for AI in lie detection, and how tech tools, though slow to gain traction in the food industry, can amplify productivity and foster innovation. 

We discuss the urgent need for upskilling in the food industry as we navigate these technological advancements.
