Artificial intelligence is being used to address food waste problems in industries like hotels and supermarkets.
The brains behind both of these efforts: Artificial intelligence. It's part of an emerging industry that's trying to cash in on a senseless human problem: The huge amounts of uneaten food that go from supermarkets and restaurants to the dumpster.
A company called Winnow has developed the A.I. tool that spies on restaurant garbage. Another company, Afresh, digests supermarket data to look for wasteful mismatches between what a store is stocking, and what people are buying.
In the United States, a third of food that's grown is never eaten.
