AI and beef

It seems like just a minute ago AI or Super Intelligence as the President calls it, burst on the scene like an avalanche. Now everything is Chat GPT this or Claude that. And it makes sense. This stuff works seemingly like magic. On to the USDA. Take a look at the USDA grade labels on beef and other meat products at your retailer. Those grades come from Agriculture Department inspectors, assuring quality and safety with innovation assisting those efforts. Robert Eaton of the Agricultural Marketing Service explains the use of artificial intelligence in creating time and cost efficiencies for end users. Speaker 2: Cameras with image classification technology are used to deliver objectivity and consistency in grading, and have reduced staffing needs thanks to efficiencies gained at grade is determined through an AI model, and the images are uploaded to a server for remote oversight by AMS staff. Technology has streamlined the process, cutting customer costs by as much as 50%, thus improving accessibility to grading services and opening new marketing opportunities, especially for small family owned operations. Speaker 1: Speaker 2: An AI powered image classification model using LiDAR and traditional cameras and staff with decades of experience are shaping the model to grade young cattle, and when implemented, a 25% increase in market coverage is plausible, improving market transparency and efficiency.
