Danone could be saved by AI, which will revolutionize the future of yogurt
The yogurt of the 21st century requires the help of a number of 21st century technologies: machine learning and gut science, as well as a mysterious artificial digestive system.
Researchers at a Danone facility near Paris feed yogurt dollops into globular plastic tubes and glass vessels designed to simulate the human gut. Artificial intelligence is used to test the potential health benefits of the bacteria once they have proven that they can survive digestive juices.
The goal of the probiotics industry may be familiar to consumers who are bombarded by claims about their supposed power: a flavored yogurt. The owner of Activia, Actimel and other brands is betting that technology will reveal which friendly bacteria are most effective and why. This will give its products a scientific advantage at a time where revenue is lagging.
