AI & Meat Science?

But the bigger question that I had for you was artificial intelligence and its use in meat science.

And that's something that our team has been starting to dabble in a lot.

We're in an amazing time right now to be alive.

Yes.

And the computing and processing power that we have now is incredible.

And so maybe tell us a little bit about the work that you're doing and what is your vision?

Yes.

So the idea started from New Mexico.

It's a state that has some limitations to large corporations or large meat industry, you know, because of environmental conditions.

We are a desert.

So there are some obstacles there that, you know, contribute for us not having these large processing facilities or large food industry in the state.

But we wanted to provide a different skill set to our students that would still put them at the same level of other students when they finish their program.

So we wanted to teach a different skill set.

But for us to start, we needed to consider that the same as because artificial intelligence is something new for all of us.

We are learning as we go.

But the same happens for these students.

So they don't have a background.

They don't have an understanding of what is happening.

you know, artificial intelligence.

So we first started by teaching them what is artificial intelligence.

So we started from the idea of providing AI literacy in meat science classes.

And by doing that, we developed some lectures that were specific to teach them how the industry is currently using artificial intelligence.

So from grading of carcasses or cleaning and sanitation when they use the robots to help them identify areas that are not being cleaned effectively or sanitized.

Or even for sensors, like if we think about sensory classes.

we have perfect sensors, right? We can taste, we can smell.
