Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping every corner of the dietary supplement and functional food ecosystem—from how new ingredients are discovered to how products are evaluated, marketed, and regulated. In this practical session, industry experts share real-world examples of AI in action across innovation, compliance, and consumer engagement.
Learn how AI is:
- Accelerating ingredient discovery and formulation through machine learning-driven literature reviews, claims-ready dossier generation, and transparent citation workflows.
- Transforming regulatory and quality operations by automating label monitoring, compliance intelligence, and risk assessment—while maintaining human oversight and audit integrity.
- Advancing scientific validation and trust through platforms that evaluate supplements by clinical evidence and build predictive models for personalized wellness.
- And more, with a panel discussion and Q&A.
