Description
A former banker and third-generation publican are tapping into the power of AI with a new alcoholic seltzer brand creating personalised flavours that taste exactly how you want them to.
Summary
The article highlights a new innovation in the beverage industry where AI is being used to tailor-make alcoholic seltzers to the taste of individual customers. This venture, driven by a former banker and a third-generation publican, represents an intriguing use of AI in personalization, though it does not contribute significantly to the dialogue on AI safety or governance. The discussion is centered on consumer enjoyment and customization rather than existential or catastrophic AI risks. As such, the implications for global or Australian AI policy and regulation, especially concerning AI safety, are minimal.
