The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) recently published a summary of a session on Artificial Intelligence, held at their Science and Innovation Forum held on 13th-17th October 2025.
The session entitled ‘AI meets food safety: exploring how artificial intelligence can help reshape food safety’ brought together scientists, regulators and innovators to look at how digital innovations are transforming food safety management, from reactive responses to more anticipatory and data-driven approaches.
Discussions ranged from machine learning for pathogen detection to horizon scanning for emerging issues and models that help prioritize inspection resources in data-limited environments.
