AI Takes Flight: KLM's Recipe for Cutting Down Meal Waste
👋 Hi, I am Mark. I am a strategic futurist and innovation keynote speaker. I advise governments and enterprises on emerging technologies such as AI or the metaverse. My subscribers receive a free weekly newsletter on cutting-edge technology.

KLM's innovative use of AI has led to a significant reduction in food waste, with the airline now saving approximately 100,000 kilograms of meals annually. This achievement is part of a broader initiative aimed at accelerating AI adoption in business.
