Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool, that has the potential to impact society on multiple levels. Increased adoption as well as employment of AI in new product development and business processes have led to heightened interest and optimism on one hand, whilst increasing fears of potential negative societal consequences on the other. The ethics of AI has subsequently become a topical issue for academics, industry players, health practitioners and regulators, who have a goal and responsibility to protect the public and limit widening inequality.Despite the publication of numerous AI ethical frameworks, guidelines and regulations, none have specifically focused on nutrition and behaviour change. Advances in technology, including AI and machine learning, have opened up novel ways to deliver personalization to guide individuals towards healthier behaviours or to manage their conditions. This perspective synthesizes the key topics that intersect in nutrition and behaviour change where AI is leveraged to provide personalized advice. We propose a 7-pillar framework to guide the development of ethical and transparent AI solutions to build consumer and practitioner trust.
Keywords: personalized nutrition, Behaviour Change, artificial intelligence, Digital Health, Longevity
