TOKYO (Reuters) – If you’ve ever bought supermarket sushi, you may know the taste trauma that hit Kazuhiro Shimura one night. But “disappointing” tuna sparked an idea: he’d develop an artificial intelligence (AI) system to make sure your sashimi is always delicious. Using a deep learning algorithm to crunch through grading data from merchants, Tuna Scope has now evolved into a smartphone app. “That means people can be sure they are getting delicious tuna,” Shimura told Reuters at fish merchant Misaki Megumi Suisan, which ships AI-certified tuna overseas. “To be frank, I think I can still beat the AI,” he said.
