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 for compliance and marketed. 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 compliance operations and organizational design by performing global ingredient, formula, and claim regulatory assessments, creating national labels, and staying abreast of the latest regulatory updates.
- 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.
