The Future of Food View the IORMA Documentary video about The Future of Food, which is a critical topic that intersects with technology, sustainability, and health. As innovations emerge, the way we produce, consume, and think about food is evolving rapidly. The fundamentals of food, its significance, the global food industry, and the transformative potential of cutting-edge technologies is examined. With the ever accelerating advances of technology and science it is perhaps not beyond belief that inevitably in the long term future, food as we know it today will eventually be completely replaced by human consumption of nutrient drinks (similar to food drinks, food/vitamin tablets or food injections) which will provide all the personalised nutritional value required by humans, containing a balanced mix of the required proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals. #food #future #health #humanity #technology #iorma

Understanding Speech Deepfakes Julie Wall, Professor of AI & Advanced Computing, University of West London and IORMA Advisory Board in conversation with Ross Edwards, Technology Director, IORMA Speech deepfakes, created using AI, enable the generation of synthetic voices that closely mimic human speech patterns, including tone and intonation. This technology has practical applications in fields like media, accessibility, and virtual assistants, offering new possibilities for innovation. However, it also raises significant concerns, particularly in areas such as misinformation, fraud, and privacy. The growing sophistication of speech synthesis presents challenges for detection, with tools often struggling to distinguish synthetic from genuine speech. Addressing these issues requires advancing detection methods, developing ethical safeguards, and establishing clear policies to prevent misuse while supporting beneficial applications. This discussion below provides an overview of the current state of speech deepfakes, their implications, and potential solutions, emphasising the need for collaborative approaches to manage the risks and opportunities associated with this emerging technology.

David Wortley Director IORMA Health & Wellness Technology Centre February 2025 The former Head of the NHS, Sir Simon Stevens, recognised the challenges now faced by our Ageing Society when he predicted that public health services would become unsustainable and not fit for purpose unless lifestyle behaviours could be addressed “at an early stage as possible” As Sir Simon Stevens indicated many years ago, preventative healthcare is critical to the future of public health but will AI have a positive or negative effect on public health and wellbeing and how could AI act as a catalyst to the widespread lifestyle behavioural changes necessary?
