AI Tool Accurately Identifies Wine Origin, Could Help Detect Fraud
The machine learning algorithm analyzes the chemical composition of wines, providing each with a unique signature that can identify its estate of origin with 100% accuracy.
- Scientists have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that can identify the origin of a wine with 100% accuracy, according to a study published in Communications Chemistry.
- The AI tool uses machine learning to analyze the chemical composition of wines, providing each with a unique signature.
- The technology was tested on 80 wines from seven different estates in the Bordeaux region of France, harvested over a period of 12 years.
- While the AI tool was able to accurately identify the estate of origin, it was only 50% accurate at identifying the specific vintage of the wine.
- The technology could potentially be used to detect fraudulent wines and improve the overall standard of wine-making.
