Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Nutrition and Dietetics

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming healthcare, and nutrition and dietetics are no exception. From personalised dietary guidance and automated dietary assessment to large-scale public health insights, AI has the potential to reshape how nutrition care is delivered, accessed, and understood. As data-driven technologies become more embedded in clinical practice, research, and the wider food system, nutrition professionals are increasingly required to engage with new tools, new evidence, and new ways of working.
