Burger and fr-AI-s? McDonald's reveals plans to use AI to produce 'hotter, fresher food' for customers

Would you eat a burger cooked by a robot? It might not sound enticing but McDonald's claims implementing artificial intelligence (AI) in the kitchen will result in'hotter, fresher food'. The fast food giant has partnered with Google to bring cloud computing and AI solutions into the kitchen. While there won't be robots operating the grills quite yet, thousands of restaurants will soon be powered by high-powered computing. Brian Rice, McDonald's executive vice president says the upgrade means that'tools get sharper, models get smarter, restaurants become easier to operate, and most importantly, the overall experience for our customers and crew gets even better.'
