This event, organized by the INAF-Universit\u00e9 Laval teams along with its member entity, the Centre Nutrition, Sant\u00e9 et Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 (NUTRISS) of the Institute of Intelligence and Data (IID) of Universit\u00e9 Laval, and the Sorbonne Center for Artificial Intelligence (SCAI) of Sorbonne University, offered attendees insights into how AI can transform the food landscape\u2014from agriculture to metabolism\u2014through a series of engaging lectures.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the strategic partnership between Universit\u00e9 Laval and Sorbonne University, this initiative is among the projects selected under the OFQJ and the 69th Permanent Franco-Qu\u00e9bec Cooperation Commission (CPCFQ). The CPCFQ is the primary tool for implementing the governmental commitments of Quebec and France, and serves as a selection mechanism for projects benefiting from French and Quebec co-financing.<\/p>\n<p>The opening conference, delivered by Professor Jean-Gabriel Ganascia (Sorbonne University), set the stage with his presentation on the digitization of data in agriculture and food, emphasizing how this advancement can ensure carbon traceability and positively influence consumer food choices.<\/p>\n<p>Following this, Xavier Fresquet (Sorbonne University) continued with a presentation that simplified AI and sustainable food for non-specialists, highlighting the recent impacts of AI on logistics and health. This was complemented by Antonin Lamazi\u00e8re (Sorbonne University), who discussed how metabolomics and AI can revolutionize preventive medicine and personalized nutrition, particularly in the context of fertility.<\/p>\n<p>INAF researchers also shared their work, illustrating the practical application of AI in the agri-food sector:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Elsa Rousseau (Universit\u00e9 Laval)<\/strong> discussed the use of AI to predict individual nutritional biomarkers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Laurent Bazinet (Universit\u00e9 Laval)<\/strong> addressed the optimization of processes in the agri-food industry through machine learning.<\/li>\n<li><strong>S\u00e9bastien Villeneuve (Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada)<\/strong> explored how AI can accelerate the digital and sustainable transformation of the food supply chain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The day was enriched by industry presentations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Alain Simard<\/strong> presented on the Petit Cactus app, which uses AI to support young people with diabetes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Louis St-Laurent<\/strong> shared recent achievements of INO in agri-vision.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The day concluded with a discussion panel, &#8220;Collaborative Learning in AI and Nutrition-Health: Feedback and Experiences,&#8221; moderated by Beno\u00eet Lamarche, Director of the NUTRISS Center at INAF, and Xavier Fresquet, Deputy Director of SCAI. This panel featured several students from INAF and SCAI who participated in the France-Quebec Summer School on Artificial Intelligence and Nutrition-Health in 2023.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Day 2: Student Symposium and Practical Workshop: Using AI as a Tool in Sustainable Food Research<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The following day, April 10, the focus shifted to a student symposium that highlighted the innovative research of graduate students from France and Quebec. This emerging scientific talent presented their latest advancements related to the role of AI in sustainable food, offering new perspectives and ideas on using machine learning as a lever in their research work.<\/p>\n<p>The afternoon was dedicated to a practical workshop on creating applications using ChatGPT. Participants explored how to build a robot capable of compiling recipes or organizing bacterial definitions in an Excel spreadsheet. This workshop not only demonstrated the accessibility of AI but also allowed attendees to understand the concept of API (Application Programming Interface) and how to use AI as a simple tool in their projects, bypassing the complexities of programming languages.<\/p>\n<p>The day concluded with an hour of discussions with participants, including students and research professionals, regarding the potential uses of AI in their own projects and the services available at Universit\u00e9 Laval and through INAF platforms.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Key Takeaways:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>These two full days not only highlighted the importance of AI in advancing sustainable food but also reinforced the need for interdisciplinary collaboration and training in AI tools such as APIs. They confirmed that the intersection of AI with other fields can lead to significant innovations that could transform how we produce, consume, and think about food.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These two full days confirmed that the intersection of AI with other fields can lead to significant innovations that could transform how we produce, consume, and think about food.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":310,"featured_media":15723,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1465,3130],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16379","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-recherche-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 -
