| Leading names of the industry met-up on February 28th in a little corner of Dempsey Hill in Singapore to witness the launch of the not-so-little Artificial Intelligence Challenge for Food Safety. Co-organized by Bühler, ID Capital and Alibaba Cloud, it is the first such global competition aimed at Food Safety.
AI experts from around the world will be invited to compete through Tianchi, Alibaba Cloud’s global big data crowd intelligence platform, to develop solutions to food-safety related events such as product recalls, foodborne outbreaks or fraudulent activity.

Home to half of the world’s population, Asia has the highest health burden from foodborne diseases. In the Southeast Asia region alone, foodborne diseases are responsible for 150 million illnesses and 175,000 deaths annually.
In order to protect consumer health and lower the risk of foodborne incidents, Bühler has recently launched the freemium service safefood.ai to create additional intelligence on food-safety related events such as product recalls, foodborne outbreaks or fraudulent activity. The service continuously monitors thousands of sources, including official databases, social media, news and others, and alerts users about any evidence related to foodborne outbreaks, product recalls or food fraud. |

The contestants will be challenged to create algorithms that can generate automated summaries of discovered food safety incidents at both high relevancy and great precision. Contestants’models will have to analyze large sets of data provided by Bühler which have been aggregated from dozens of sources. As the competition will be progresses, participants will be able to test their algorithms on new data and optimize their models to reach better accuracy at spotting relevant food safety events.
The team adjudged as the best solution will win a First Prize of US$ 10,000 from Bühler. There will also be two Second Prizes of US$2,500 as well as a Third Prize which is an internship opportunity at Bühler Switzerland. The winners will be announced and will have the opportunity to present at Future Food Asia 2019.

Future Food Asia 2019 will be hosted in Singapore on 3rd & 4th June. In this enhanced extended format not only will we have the announcement of the results of the A.I. Challenge but also two dedicated panel discussions on the topics of artificial intelligence and big data - to answer critical questions such as: Is A.I. cost effective and scalable enough for the AgriFood Industry? and Does big data raise more questions than answers for farmers?
