Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Food Supply Chain - Current and Future Potential

Author: Joseph Wilcox

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is undoubtedly one of the technologies that are set to change the whole way of life for us humans in the years to come. This is not an exaggerated claim. Although it has been around for a few decades, recent developments such as the emergence of the cloud, which has helped to address the main bottleneck that AI faced, namely space, improved power of algorithms, and smarter computation have all combined to mark some kind of resurgence for AI. Today, there is almost no area that has remained untouched by AI.

What are the possibilities that Artificial Intelligence holds for the food supply chain segment? This is an interesting, even if a rather controversial topic. These possibilities are what a webinar from Traininng.com, a leading provider of professional training for all the areas of regulatory compliance, is going to examine. At this highly pertinent 90-minute session, President of Ryan Systems, John Ryan, will be the expert.
