Part 2: The Role of AI in Flavor Formulation: A Personal Perspective
While AI brings undeniable advantages in data analysis and efficiency, its role in accelerating R&D—particularly in flavor formulation—remains nuanced.
Part two of this article explores AI’s strengths, limitations, and potential in flavor R&D, highlighting how it can complement human expertise without replacing the creative intuition essential to the field.
Part 1: The Role of AI in Flavor Formulation: A Personal Perspective
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has gradually become an integral tool in various industries, and the field of Flavor & Beverage Development is no exception. While AI is still in its infancy in this niche, I’ve found several ways to incorporate it into my formulation practice, making my workflow more efficient and data-driven.
