AI Tracker: From smart packaging to AI travel agents

1) Future-ready packaging

Researchers at Japan’s Kyushu University have developed a ‘future-ready’ food packaging system that uses intelligent sensing, self-healing materials and AI-driven prediction. The system is designed to recognise, judge, act and learn, detecting what is happening inside a package in real time and translating it into information for producers and consumers. The approach could help address food waste caused by damage during distribution, unnecessary disposal and products being discarded because of inventory pressures.
