January 29, 2024 — In just over a year, artificial intelligence (AI) programs like ChatGPT, Midjourney, Bard, and more have gone from a novelty to a viable tool for an array of industries – and the seafood industry could capitalize on them to increase sales and target more customers.
The use of AI is not new to the seafood industry but typically is relegated to uses in the aquaculture industry. An analysis by ThisFish CEO and Co-Founder Eric Enno Tamm – shared during Seafood Expo Asia in September 2023 – found the vast majority of AI use in the seafood industry takes place in aquaculture. Tamm said most of the investment is in aquaculture as well, and that the uses of AI are typically relegated to machine vision technology – programs that use machine learning and AI to analyze video or images.
