AI that mimics aspects of the behaviour of flies seeking food can be used to design new beer recipes. It can also accurately recreate an existing brew using alternative ingredients when supplies are unstable. Mohammad Majid al-Rifaie at the University of Greenwich, UK, and his colleagues say that brewers traditionally follow existing recipes or create new ones using the time-consuming process of trial and error. He says that the AI tool is intended to "flip this whole equation around, so instead of …

Are AI machines going to take over our brewpubs? Unlikely, but it is almost certain that breweries will continue to use AI and data to create new beer recipes and optimize existing formulations. Here are some ways AI is currently used in beer making.

There are many ways artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning can make our world more productive and effective. There are even breweries that are using AI to enhance beer production. Is this brilliant or unbelievable? While it's admittedly too soon to tell, using data to inform brewmasters' decisions and the possibility of personalised brews makes AI-brewed beer definitely intriguing. Since brewing beer is an art and a science, artificial intelligence offers a powerful helping hand in the latter.

When you consider all the amazing things artificial intelligence can be used for, making beer probably isn't one of them. Unless I'm misunderstanding something, I thought the whole point of beer was to let us worry less about intelligence. But while many of the things artificial intelligence can be used for are far more boring than beer – I can only watch people lose to a robot at Jeopardy so many times – so maybe IntelligentX is actually on to something: The company has claimed to produce the world's first AI brewed beer. "AI is about making decisions," said IntelligentX co-founder Dr. Rob McInerney in a promotional video, "and when you're brewing beer, there's a lot of decisions that need to be made." For the products his brand makes, those decisions are run through a complex machine learning algorithm that is able to use customer feedback to "brew new versions which are more finely tuned to people's tastes," according to the company.
