The third installment of FDA’s new podcast series on technology and food safety focuses on artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential to advance food safety.
This quarterly podcast explores the potential for novel technological approaches and solutions in each of the core elements in the New Era of Smarter Food Safety Blueprint. The second Core Element, called Smarter Tools and Approaches for Prevention and Outbreak Response, includes goals to expand predictive analytics capabilities using AI and machine learning tools.
In this third podcast, Frank Yiannas, Deputy FDA Commissioner for Food Policy and Response, and Donald Prater, Associate Commissioner for Imported Food Safety, led a discussion with food industry experts on subjects that include the opportunities that AI offers to help protect consumers from food safety issues, potential uses of AI that food producers could consider, and what’s on the horizon for AI in FDA’s New Era of Smarter Food Safety.
