How AI Brings Intelligent Solutions to the Produce Aisle
Walk down the produce aisle, and you might notice the crispness of lettuce, the ripeness of avocados, or the vibrant hue of berries—details that make or break a shopper’s choice. For grocers, though, that aisle is a balancing act: keeping produce fresh, shelves stocked, and waste low, all while making sure shoppers find what they need. Today, artificial intelligence is stepping in to steady that balance. From predicting when a cooler might fail to ensuring strawberries stay in stock, AI is transforming how grocers manage produce operations—making the aisle more efficient, more responsive, and more engaging for shoppers. Retailers are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence in the produce aisle to […]
What Happens When Artificial Intelligence Faces the Human Problem of Uncertainty?
Every day, we make choices in the fog of uncertainty: A doctor weighs treatment options when test results are inconclusive. A business leader plans strategy amid shifting market trends. A farmer decides when to plant, guessing at weather that might change. These are human problems—rooted in incomplete information, competing values, and the need to act even when we can’t know the outcome. Now, as we hand more complex decisions to AI, that fog of uncertainty has become a critical challenge: Can artificial intelligence ever navigate it as thoughtfully as we do? A new large language model framework, developed by Willie Neiswanger—assistant professor of computer science at the USC Viterbi School […]
