AI in Food Safety: Ethical and Efficient Food Safety Document Writing

This workshop provides participants with the knowledge and practical experience to effectively use Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to develop key components of a food safety management system, including Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), policies, training materials, and system verification activities. The course addresses the responsible and ethical use of AI and how these tools can improve efficiency, standardization, and accessibility while maintaining compliance with food safety regulations and audit standards.

Attendees will gain hands-on experience using AI to generate document drafts, experiment with different prompt engineering strategies to achieve precise, context-aware outputs, and understand how various technical approaches (e.g., inference with large language models, retrieval-augmented generation, fine-tuning) can enhance document quality and consistency. The course also covers the ethical use of AI so that participants are prepared to integrate AI safely and responsibly into their documentation workflows.

The course will conclude with a breakout session in which participants can independently workshop a document of their choice with instructor consultation and support. This course is designed for beginner to intermediate users of AI—no coding or technical background is required.
