Fortune published an interesting article highlighting how Unilever is using AI to help with their formulation process - predicting taste, consumer preferences, microbiological stability along with optimizing for their supply chain. It’s impressive to see how AI is changing the way the food industry operates and creates new products. One thing I’m particularly excited about is how AI is helping to minimize food waste. While algorithms can predict demand and find optimal delivery routes to minimize food loss, we are learning they can do so much more. Companies have used AI models that can predict taste, texture and stability of a product, as well as make informed decisions on packaging to ensure a product is used to its full extent. I’m excited to see how AI will continue to impact and be a force for good in tackling food waste and sustainability efforts in the CPG world.

🔍 Embracing the AI Frontier: Stay Open, Stay Curious! 🚀 I'm truly fascinated by the profound impact AI is making in various industries, especially in addressing critical issues like food sustainability highlighted in this insightful article. The utilization of AI by leading companies such as Unilever, PepsiCo, and Mars Wrigley in optimizing product formulations, reducing waste, and enhancing supply chain efficiency is remarkable. Just as we've witnessed with past technologies like word processing and the internet, AI holds immense potential to revolutionize how we work and live. It's evident that we're only beginning to explore its capabilities, particularly in enhancing food production and addressing global challenges. As leaders, it's crucial to foster a culture of curiosity and experimentation with AI among our teams. Encouraging employees to explore AI's possibilities, understand its limitations, and collaborate on creating innovative use cases can drive meaningful progress in our organizations and communities. While we're still in the early stages of AI adoption, it's clear that this technology is here to stay and will continue to evolve rapidly. Embracing this evolution with curiosity, agility, and openness to change is essential for staying ahead in today's dynamic landscape.

As the world’s population swells to nearly 10 billion by 2050, farmers have to become more efficient. Big Food is going big on #ai. At Bayer, crunching data with AI can help breeders create crop offspring that will be most successful in the field. Unilever used AI to whip up Hellmann’s vegan mayo; advanced modeling helped predict the taste, texture, and stability of a product that would omit egg. PepsiCo uses AI to help synthesize what consumers want at a faster pace, but at the heart of those flavor development decisions are human insights. https://lnkd.in/eXhFyN6V

I appreciate this piece from Fortune on AI use cases for how understandable the technology becomes by highlighting the different ways AI factors into many companies' processes, including ours. Many of the examples cited are consumer-facing products, and the companies that develop those products are using past performance to design future success. The ways AI can be applied are really broad, and many of them beneficial to the world at large. I see some striking similarities between consumer-packaged goods and our farmer-facing systems in that regard. Whether you're developing a system to predict demand and create products, or if you're trying to better understand how crop protection products can be applied in the most effective ways, the end product is the same: correctly and more quickly anticipating demand and usage results in reduction in waste and conservation of resources. We do consider machine learning and AI to be foundational to our success today and going forward. Without it, we simply can't move with the speed and accuracy we need to, with the scale of data we need to work with to provide better solutions to farmers. #AI #AgTech #AgInnovation #GenerativeAI

🌟 Is AI the Future of Brand Innovation or Just a Tool for Efficiency? Let’s Discuss! 🌟 Everyone is talking about AI 🤖 and its integration into our daily lives, but can it revolutionise large-scale manufacturing businesses? Unilever is exploring this potential by leveraging AI for consumer insights and innovation, particularly through its Hellmann's brand. Hellmann's has introduced an AI-powered tool called "Meal Reveal," developed in partnership with Google Cloud. This tool helps consumers reduce food waste by scanning fridge contents and suggesting recipes based on available ingredients, tackling the common issue of "fridge blindness" 🍲📱 Unilever’s use of AI extends beyond consumer tools. They are also utilising digital modelling and big data in product development. For instance, AI helped create a new formulation for Hellmann's Vegan Mayonnaise by predicting taste and texture without extensive physical testing 🥫 The question remains: Will AI replace human instinct in brand innovation, or will the human touch continue to be indispensable in new product development? What are your thoughts on AI in brand innovation? 🤔 Check out the full article here. https://lnkd.in/dhXuugmH
