Artificial intelligence technology has found a new area of application in the fight against food waste.
As reported by Sözcü from the New York Times, restaurants and grocery stores are utilizing artificial intelligence to analyze discarded food and reduce waste.
Approximately 30% to 40% of the food produced in the United States is thrown away without being consumed. To cope with this problem, companies are training artificial intelligence to identify the type and quantity of discarded food, analyzing restaurant trash and grocery store inventory. The data obtained is used to optimize product purchasing based on sales and consumption data.
With this information, restaurants can reduce portion sizes or remove certain dishes from their menus to minimize waste.
