Jose Andres on AI, crisis tech, and rethinking the food system
Briefly

In his new book, "Change the Recipe," chef and humanitarian José Andrés discusses crisis leadership by emphasizing the importance of adaptability and rule-breaking in achieving meaningful progress. Drawing on personal experiences, he argues that the capacity to adapt is inherent to humanity, emphasizing mental and emotional flexibility. The book not only addresses the volatile nature of today's world but also touches on how artificial intelligence could transform the food industry. The interview, hosted by Bob Safian, delves into these themes and highlights why embracing change is crucial for success in tough times.
One of the book's key themes is adaptability, right? For many people, especially today, things feel very volatile. There can be panic, there could be paralysis.
The human DNA of who we are, we are a species that we are highly adaptable. Our brains and our hearts can learn and change much faster than our bodies.
I talk about breaking rules and that you need to break rules to make progress. Sometimes it's necessary to get important things done.
When you show up somewhere and see hunger and destruction, breaking a few rules might just be the way to ensure that those needs are met.
