Ep 2382 Giorgia | Everybody Needs A Bit Of Scienza

Welcome to Episode 2382 of the Italian Wine Podcast and Everybody Needs a Bit of Scienza, where Professor Scienza takes questions from the international wine community and answers them in his own inimitable way! These episodes are generally in Italian. Today’s question comes from Giorgia. Today’s question(s): 🇬🇧 Wine quality is deeply tied to human sensory perception and cultural context, yet AI is now being used to analyze vast datasets on terroir, fermentation, and even consumer preferences. Do you believe AI has the potential to redefine how we understand and classify wine styles, or will there always be an element of human intuition and tradition that technology cannot replicate? 🇮🇹 La qualità del vino è strettamente legata alla percezione sensoriale umana ed al contesto culturale, eppure si sta utilizzando l’intelligenza artificiale per analizzare molti set di dati sul terroir, sulla fermentazione e persino sulle preferenze del consumatore. Lei crede che l’intelligenza artificiale abbia il potenziale di ridefinire la nostra concezione e la classificazione dei diversi stili di vino, o ci sarà sempre un elemento di intuizione umana e di tradizione che la tecnologia non potrà replicare? More about Professor Scienza: Professor Attilio Scienza is the one who checks all the facts and regulates when we mistakenly type “Verdicchio” instead of “Vermentino.” He is a full professor at the University of Milan in the Department of Agricultural and Food Sciences where he teaches courses on genetic improvements to the vine; he also teaches Viticulture in the Master’s program of the University of Turin in Asti. He has been the lead for many national research projects in the field of physiology, agricultural techniques, and vine genetics. As the author of over 350 publications on vine and viticulture in national and international journals, you can bet he knows his stuff!
