Tokyo: The Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry plans to start research this fiscal year on artificial intelligence programs for checking whether meat is safe for consumption before being shipped out.
The checks will be conducted by prefectural governments. The research aims to confirm whether the checked meat has abnormalities through AI analysis of photographs.
The goal is to reduce the workload in meat inspection facilities, as there is a shortage of licensed veterinarians serving as local government officials, who are needed to conduct the checks.
If the effectiveness of the method is confirmed, the ministry plans to introduce it nationwide.
Meat is shipped out after local governments or private meat-processing facilities check whether it is safe to consume.
