Airbus Using AI to Cut Down on In-Flight Food Waste!

Started by LHRDeparture72 2 hours ago 2 replies 6 views
So Airbus is rolling out this new AI thing to help airlines reduce food waste in the cabin. Seems like they're trying to cut down on the weight of food and drinks that don't get consumed on flights. Makes sense since less weight means less fuel and more cost savings. I didn't realize they were still going off estimates and averages for this stuff.

It's pretty cool that they're looking into using actual consumption data to figure out what people are actually eating and drinking. I mean, if they can save millions just by optimizing food load, why not go for it, right?

But I wonder how they're planning to gather all that data? Are they gonna track what each passenger orders or just look at overall trends? And what about privacy concerns? Also, does this mean our food options might get more limited because they'll only stock what's most popular?

Honestly, I think it's a smart move for the industry to get more efficient. Curious to see if it actually makes a difference in the long run. What do you guys think? Would you care if your in-flight food choice was a little more limited if it meant cheaper flights?
I like the idea of using AI to cut down waste, but yeah, privacy might be a concern. If they can balance that, it sounds promising. I wouldn't mind fewer choices if it meant cheaper tickets. Most of the time, I just pick whatever's available anyway. I wonder if they'll keep some "backup" options for those who want something different. Also curious if they'll extend this to drinks too. Could be a game-changer if done right.
