AI in Food Manufacturing | Online | August 25, 2026

COURSE DESCRIPTION

You’ve probably heard a lot about AI lately — and you may be wondering whether it actually has a place in the day-to-day work of food safety, quality, and operations. The short answer is yes, and the learning curve is much shorter than you might think.

This virtual workshop is designed for food industry professionals who are ready to stop wondering about AI and start using it. Whether you work in QA, food safety, plant operations, or regulatory compliance, this course meets you at your current skill level and walks you through exactly how AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude can make your job easier, faster, and more effective.

Every module is built around the real tasks you handle every week — writing SOPs, analyzing data, building training programs, researching regulations, and managing audits. You won’t just watch demonstrations; you’ll practice using AI tools during class and build a personal prompt library you can take back to your desk and use immediately.

No prior AI experience is required. Just bring a computer, an open mind, and a few real challenges from your facility — because by the end of this workshop, you’ll have a plan to start tackling them with AI
