UVU students use AI to develop a toothpaste business
The segment follows the two of us out of the classroom and into the formula: how AI narrowed the field, why food scientists and chemists still hold the final say, and what a family history of fillings has to do with a tube of toothpaste.
“Every time we would go to the dentist, it seemed like we were getting some sort of filling or cavity — and what was interesting is, we're a really healthy family.”
“We can't trust AI blindly. It's important to have a human in the loop — the food scientists or chemists having the final say.”
Key takeaways, per KSL
- UVU students Ben and Will Wright used artificial intelligence to develop a toothpaste business.
- AI helped them research and draft a formula, alongside food scientists and chemists.
- Research moves faster; human expertise still makes the final decision.
