Abstract

The article provides an opinion-based overview of the technological transformation in the food industry, highlighting the positive influence of artificial intelligence and synthetic data generation in enhancing product quality and process optimization. It addresses the challenges of implementing AI, alongside the promising application of quantum computing in tackling complex problems. Concrete examples of synthetic data generation in disease detection in plants and real-time temperature prediction in the cold chain are presented. The importance of these technologies in supporting decision-making, improving food safety and quality is underscored, with recognition that despite current challenges, quantum computing holds the potential to be a revolutionary tool in the food industry.
