Abstract

Artificial intelligence is a branch of science based on imitating the human brain. It aims to be able to do the activities in the same way that people can do thanks to their intelligence, and even go beyond it. The use of artificial intelligence in the field of nutrition is a very current field. For this reason, since it is a very new approach, there is a lack of data. The fact that nutrition is the basis of health and the widespread use of the concept of personalized nutrition, especially in recent years, increases the interest to artificial intelligence. Making use of artificial intelligence while making personalized diet plans rather than a general diet application and at the same time providing nutritional status assessment is a promising new window for the future. There is an approach that argues that artificial intelligence approaches may be safer than traditional methods, but it is necessary to support this theory with scientific data. It is necessary for nutritionists to support the studies to be carried out in order to realize the use of artificial intelligence in many different fields of nutrition science and to expand its use worldwide.

Yapay Zekanın Beslenme Biliminde Kullanımı

Abstract

Yapay zeka, insan beynini taklit etme temelli bir bilim dalıdır. İnsanın zekası sayesinde yapabildiği faaliyetleri aynı şekilde yapabilmeyi hatta bunun ötesine geçmeyi hedeflemektedir. Beslenme alanında yapay zekanın kullanımı ise oldukça güncel bir alandır. Bu sebeple çok yeni bir yaklaşım olduğu için de veri yetersizliği söz konusudur. Beslenmenin sağlığın temeli olması ve özellikle son yıllarda kişiye özel beslenme kavramının yaygınlaşması yapay zekaya yönelimi artırmaktadır. Genel bir diyet uygulamasından ziyade kişiye özel diyet planlamalarını yaparken yapay zekadan faydalanmak ve aynı zamanda beslenme durum değerlendirmesini sağlayabilmek gelecek için umut vadeden yeni bir penceredir. Yapay zeka yaklaşımlarının geleneksel yöntemlere kıyasla daha güvenli olabileceğini savunan bir yaklaşım vardır ancak bu teoriyi bilimsel verilerle desteklemek gereklidir. Beslenme uzmanlarının, yapay zekanın beslenme bilimin çok daha farklı alanlarında da kullanımını gerçekleştirebilmek ve dünya çapında kullanımını yaygınlaştırmak için yapılacak çalışmalara destek vermesi gereklidir.
