{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Are food industry innovators making the most of AI?","description":"How is AI influencing innovation in the food industry?\n\nIn this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, recorded live at our event at Olympia in London, we try to map out the full picture.\n\nOur guest speaker is Alberto Prado, former Global Head of R&D Digital & Partnerships at Unilever.\n\nAlberto believes the food industry is facing the most volatile, fast-moving, expensive and demanding environment it has ever operated in. But, he argues, the tools it's using to respond are largely unchanged since the 1980s.\n\nHe maps out the full picture - what AI is already doing inside large FMCG organisations, the five barriers he believes are getting in the way, and why he argues companies that treat AI as infrastructure rather than a feature, will be shaping this industry for the next decade.\n\nHis argument is that most food businesses are using AI to write better emails and build slightly faster dashboards, while mistaking that for transformation.\n\nIf this has whet your appetite for next year’s Food Matters Live events - you can already register your interest to partner with us in London and Rotterdam.
