Trema Cannavaccioulo: they are about to apply artificial intelligence to food to predict tastes!
A small revolution could change the world of cooking and nutrition , at least of a certain kind. Mars is planning a multi-year collaboration with Pipa, an AI-powered food research company, to make food health improvements with more palatable ingredients.
By putting AI at the center of food, nutrition and health, the confectionery giant wants to unlock new high-quality foods, but with positive organoleptic characteristics. Pipa's technologies will also save Mars time and money, as its artificial intelligence technologies enable flavor prediction with “virtual sensory panels”, enabling the creation of sensory profiles without experimentation.
“ The next decade will see a paradigm shift in the way we understand food, its effects on our health and well-being ,” says Dr. Ilias Tagkopoulos, founder of Pipa and director of the AI Institute of Next Generation Food Systems (AIFS) at the University of California.
" The triple mapping of the molecular atlas of food, leveraging computational methods that learn from data and fueling an ecosystem that translates discoveries into practice, creates the perfect storm for an unprecedented disruption and brings us one step closer to the Hippocrat" leaves that food is your medicine ' . " How does the AI company plan to achieve this? Using a large database that mixes medical data and scientific publications, clinical studies and omics data sets, that is, deriving from genomics and other similar sciences. To accelerate the experimentation of new products, AI will be used to simulate the flavor of individual products, thus making the randomized product screening systems superfluous, or secondary, i.e. those tests in which products are tasted by people chosen at random in order to have then a feedback on the quality of the products.
Pipa AI laboratories try to identify bi-active products and therefore to understand how they interact with individuals. So they basically try to predict what taste the final product will have through artificial intelligence and database analysis. The product is then simulated by the AI and then, in the end, when the solution is optimal, it is tested in real life. In practice, the AI does what the Chefs do, mentally. Potentially this AI could also beat Cannavacciuolo to produce excellent and healthy dishes, or it will produce garbage. Because AI, after all, only examines data, it doesn't taste food.
