TL;DR
Researchers in Montreal have used artificial intelligence to discover five new species of yeast in a project that could help the brewing industry create new flavours. The AI sifted through the 2,000-plus known yeast species and identified five potential candidates, which were then tested in the lab. This process would have taken years using traditional methods but was completed in a matter of weeks with AI. The discovery could lead to new possibilities for the food and beverage industry.
