OVERVIEW

Artificial Intelligence (AI) - Growing in the Field of Dietetics is organized by Dietitians of Canada (DC) / Les Dietetistes du Canada.

Description:
The demand for efficient, digital, and data-driven experiences is causing the widespread adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI)- such that dietitians, like many other professions, are forced to reconsider our role in the future of work. Although dietitians may not be replaced by intelligent machines (in the near future), the increasing demand to perform AI and mobile-supported nutritional interventions means that students and professionals should at least be aware of the technologys presence. Dietitians can grow alongside AI if they are ready to take the steps to prepare, adapt and future-proof their careers.

AI has already begun to revolutionize research and practice in dietetics, advance personalized nutrition, and improve the integrity of nutritional science. This session will:
1. introduce essential concepts,
2. review the current state of AI in nutrition, and
3. present its opportunities, limitations, and future directions.
