Japanese brewery using generative AI to dream up new beverages
Dec 19, 2023 - theregister.com
Japanese beverage company Kirin Holdings is using artificial intelligence (AI) to generate ideas for new products in its Kirin Hyoketsu range of ready-to-drink beverages. The AI will analyze customer interview data to provide insights for product concepts and flavors, potentially speeding up the product development process. However, it is not yet clear if this technology will be used for beer production.
The AI's results will be tested by humans before being released to the public. Kirin hopes that this use of AI will reduce the time taken in the product development cycle, which has been slowed down by the lengthy customer interview process. The company has not indicated any plans to use this technology for beer production.
