Workshop: Leveraging artificial intelligence to advance alternative protein technologies
Event description
Alternative proteins are a key climate mitigation solution, but many pressing challenges in sustainable proteins remain. AI can help! Eager to apply your interest in alternative proteins or artificial intelligence (or both!) toward climate action? Join us for a two-hour generative workshop on leveraging artificial intelligence to advance alternative protein technologies and meet other researchers!
The Bezos Earth Fund has officially launched the $100 million AI for Climate and Nature Grand Challenge, emphasizing sustainable proteins as one of four focus areas. This global initiative is exploring new ideas for multiplying the impact of climate and nature efforts using modern AI. This funding call has the potential to unlock major solutions across alternative proteins and artificial intelligence and has inspired GFI to bring innovators together for this collaborative event.
At this workshop, we will discuss bottlenecks in alternative proteins, highlighting those relevant to artificial and machine learning research methods, and open questions for collaborations across these fields. Participants will work in small interdisciplinary groups to identify and select problems at this intersection and will discuss methods and approaches for collaborating. By being at the forefront of this intersection of artificial intelligence and alternative proteins, AI researchers could have a unique opportunity to shape the success of these future foods and have a tangible impact on human and planetary health. We hope you can join us!
