Overview: In the last couple of years, AI algorithms for generating text, images, video and even other types of data, such as molecules, have taken hold in the public mindset. In this talk, I will discuss the main ideas behind generative AI, to give an intuition of how these models are trained and what their strengths and weaknesses are. I will discuss both the hype and hope of this type of technology, and give some example use cases and approaches for embedding generative AI models in an educational context.

The digitalization of food systems together with the advancement of technologies facilitates the transmission of a large amount of information between industry decision-makers/stakeholders and consumers. Digital technologies can connect physical food with its related digital information for various purposes. This presentation will give an overview of the use of digital technologies, such as Quick Response (QR) codes, for food identification (traceability), authentication (anti-counterfeiting), media (marketing) and sensors (quality evaluation).
