article aimed at the food retail industry, AI tools may be categorized as (i) vision, (ii) text, (iii) interactive, (iv) functional, or (v) analytical
solutions. Algorithms of machine learning (ML)-and more advanced deep learning-programs provide the foundation for the success and
dissemination of AI. ML methods are classified into supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning.
scheduling and optimization tasks, and sensory or sentiment
analysis. Finally, functional AI includes hardware devices
such as robotics and IoT applications to automate tasks and
react to conditions.
AI OPPORTUNITIES FOR RETAIL FOOD SAFETY
For the evolving food retail sector, with an increasing
proportion of sales being conducted online (7, 16), there
may be short- or long-term opportunities for transformative
technologies to improve business and supply chain efficiency.
While drone delivery, robot-empowered sanitation programs,
automated online order fulfillment, automated check-out,
and product shelf-life algorithms are some examples of AI
tools being deployed by early adopters in a variety of retail
segments, opportunities remain for AI to address unsolvable
or repetitive food safety challenges and tasks. Specific
opportunities, rather than products and services, for different

branches of AI to improve retail food safety preventive and
response systems are presented next.
Vision AI: food safety training
Fostering food safety culture is vital to earn consumer trust
and reduce the likelihood of product contamination. Reliable
food safety cultures are built upon food safety training
programs that focus on fundamental food safety education
concepts. Traditional retail food safety training programs
take place in classrooms or online. Vision AI technologies,
such as VR and AR, can advance retail food safety training
for employees and consumers. Using simulation-based
training modules allows employees to visualize and practice
crucial safety steps. Specifically, VR and AR technologies
can improve delivery of retail food safety training on the
