AI Expected to Enhance Production, Logistics, and Sales in the Food Industry
Exercise Caution When Using It for U.S. Legal Research… Korean Queries Often Lack Reliability
△ Jay Lee, CEO of J&B Food Consulting
In recent consultations with Korean clients, I’ve noticed an increasing number of cases where people study in advance using AI tools such as ChatGPT and bring that information to meetings. This can be beneficial when the information is later verified by an expert—but sometimes people take AI-generated answers at face value without validation, which can be risky. In U.S. exports, even a small error can lead to shipment rejection, destruction, or the exporter being placed on the FDA Import Alert list, so extreme caution is required.
Recently in the U.S., a lawyer representing a major Korean corporation was disciplined by the court after misapplying and misinterpreting legal precedents obtained from an AI system. Since AI produces responses based on existing data, it can generate convincing—but false—answers, a phenomenon known as “hallucination.”
People today tend not to use their brains as much. When they don’t know something, they simply ask AI. Before navigation systems existed, we memorized routes and developed strong spatial awareness; now, with constant reliance on GPS, that ability has declined. Similarly, if we depend solely on AI without verifying facts, we risk being misled by misinformation—and ultimately controlled by the technology itself.
AI is already transforming schools and businesses. In education, rote memorization seems increasingly unnecessary since students can instantly ask AI for answers. People can easily and deeply study any topic with AI, leading even universities to question their own relevance. In the corporate world, companies are hiring fewer entry-level employees because AI reduces the need to invest in training new workers.
As AI becomes embedded in daily life, it can either serve as a valuable assistant that enhances productivity or become a crutch that fosters total dependence. In my own consulting work, AI has dramatically improved efficiency. How much individuals achieve in their work, business, and personal life using AI depends entirely on how they apply it. Those who actively engage their critical thinking will use it best.
The food industry, too, can integrate AI to improve efficiency in production, quality management, operations, marketing, sales, and logistics. However, precision and verification are critical when using AI for legal or regulatory research.
Relying on AI-generated information to study U.S. regulations and prepare exports based on inaccurate data remains risky. Especially when asking AI questions in Korean, responses often rely on Korean-language sources that lack clear citations or credibility, presenting misinformation as fact. Therefore, expert review and verification are essential before acting on such information.
