ChatGPT uses a so called Large Language Model (LLM) to provide textual output of analyzed data. Those LLMs are one example for Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), which focuses on creating new content, e.g., text, images, or music, based on learned patterns. Recently, applications in the food industry and agriculture started to apply Generative AI. This mini review provides an overview about applications of Generative AI in the agri-food supply chain and discusses open research challenges, also in combination with digital twins.
