• If we enter the food code, we can taste the same flavor at home.

What if food could maintain its taste and texture while you eat?

• Food often changes while we eat—it can get cold or soggy, and the texture or flavor may be lost.

1. The AI companion could track one's health data (mood, sleep, activity etc.) & personal goals (lossing weight, muscle building etc.) to recommend what to eat each day

2. Adjust colors, portions, and nutrients live while one eats, keeping one's energy and emotions balanced throughout the day

Recipe Generator

1. With the available food and ingredients one has, the generator generates a recipe according to one's needs and presents each little step of the entire process of cooking visually

What if an AI could expand your thoughts in real-time, suggesting new perspectives?

What if your brain could instantly understand any language for global classrooms?

Food delivery service- focus on creating something like edible packaging- reducing waste and helping the environment

Memory cuisine- you can buy food from the past or from someone's memory- again sort of like a capsule or pill. It retains the memories and emotions of their experience with that dish

Possibly could make something to tackle food waste- a big issue thats arising at the moment-

• could make food more biodegradable

• edible packaging

• creating ecosystems inside out homes so that leftover food is digested and put back into the environment

Possible problems to look at that we could solves?

• Everyone having access to education

• Cost of Education

• Teacher shortages

• Mental health and pressure

1. A network of ocean-based campuses that sail between continents, letting students learn directly from the world itself

2. Instead of staying in one classroom, students live and study aboard self-sustaining vessels powered by wind and solar energy

- xxx capsules purchased = xx% reduced starvation around the world

https://www.plenty.ag/about/

- PLENTY- is a brand that looks at indoor farming (vertical and urban farming) so that food can be grown locally using indoor space.

- With this, it gives us hope that we can grow produce in areas with poorer climates and less resources so healthy and nutritious food is acceptable for all

THE CULTURE SERIES- IAIN BANKS

- A science fiction novel where no-one lacks food comfort or shelter.

- Replicator devices- act as a 3D printer for food that replicates taste, texture and nutrition

HEAVY FOCUS ON- AI automation, renewable energy, and synthetic food

BLACK MIRROR

Unmade or Implied Ideas

• In concept art and extended materials, Black Mirror creators discussed a future where personalised nutrition pods feed people according to algorithmic health data — efficient, but sterile.

• Food becomes another data stream, not a cultural act.

• Genetic testing

  • e.g. helps reduce and manage obesity

  • https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/articles/dna#:~:text=Nutrigenomics%20tests%20are%20designed%20for,%2C%20carbohydrates%2C%20fat%20and%20salt.

• Wearable health technology

  • e.g. Apple Watch

• Health-tracking apps

• AI-driven meal apps/websites

  • e.g. https://ollie.ai/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

Task 2

• "Dr Virani believes nutrigenomic testing will become more meaningful when combined with other data about your individual digestive and metabolic processes: biological markers (such as blood sugar and fat), metabolites (the molecules involved in your metabolism) and gut microbiome (the gut bacteria)." (Quinn)

• AI supporting personalised nutrition planning

• Restaurants need to follow everyone's personal nutrition plans to make personalised meals

• Food supplies are categorized to meet different people's nutritional needs

• Ethical & privacy safeguards

• Increased sustainable productivity- vertical farming, ai monitoring and could use gene editing to have climate adapted farming

• Made food production available everywhere- even in harsh climates

IMPLICATIONS

• universal food access could shift hunger to obesity, food waste or diet related illnesses

• Loss of emotional connection and cultural attachment is all food is processed through AI or data.

Challenges & Ethics (disadventage)
While efficient, this technology risks losing food’s emotional and cultural meaning.
When flavor becomes data, we may gain convenience but lose authenticity and memory.

• Scientists created 'e-Taste'

• Virtual taste can be real

What Needs to Happen

• Standardized food codes

• Sensory data networks
