Cultured meat (CM), known by many names including “cell-based” or “cultivated” meat, is an emerging technology that uses tissue engineering and biomanufacturing techniques to produce animal meat through cell culture rather than animal husbandry. Proponents of the technology herald its potential to provide an option for producing animal agriculture products with reduced environmental, ethical, and health impacts (Sinke et al., 2023; Tuomisto and Teixeira de Mattos, 2011). However, major technological challenges remain in bringing CM products to market and achieving their proposed benefits (Risner et al., 2021).
Machine learning can streamline experiments, predict optimal results, and reduce experimentation time and resources. There are many opportunities for ML to accelerate research development and reduce costs in CM… An increase in open public research on the use of ML to optimize and scale CM production would greatly accelerate the application of ML to the CM field.
