Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The world became aware of artificial intelligence with the public launch of ChatGPT in November 2022. Since then, the growth in AI capabilities has been almost exponential. Nutritionists see multiple and varied uses for their research and translation to professional practice in personalizing nutritional advice. In this Special Issue we want to explore those uses. Manuscripts of interest include using AI to measure and monitor food and beverage consumption. Mining individual data to provide commentary and assessment of diet. This data might be used for AI-generated menus, individually tailored recipes, and suggested swaps of food to improve diet quality. Other areas of interest are the programs and different types of AI that might be used in taking detailed patient histories to tailor advice and the integration of biomedical and social data. Understanding individual food habits and timing of meal ingestion might all be integrated with AI to further personalize nutrition advice. Any use of AI in the prediction of chronic diet-related disease is also of interest, and contributions addressing the ethics and equity of AI-personalized nutrition are welcomed. Original research articles and scoping and systematic reviews are sought.
