Japan launches Tuna Scope application to measure the quality of Tuna using AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming the 7th sense for future generations to come. Every application we use, products that are developed are trying to develop AI as a key factor to reduce human efforts. For a country like Japan, surrounded by ocean, sea creatures are the main source of food for Japanese people, especially Tuna, which is considered to be one of the greatest treasures of the ocean.

Sushi, a staple food of japan requires Tuna as one of the main ingredients and is consumed by a lot of people. Kura Sushi, a Japanese chain of sushi restaurants decided to develop an AI application to analyze the quality of Tuna as it requires years of expertise (sometimes even 35 years) and is one of the best skills that support culinary culture revolving around this fish. The skill of the Tuna Master decides whether to use the fish or not. As it requires years of expertise, and the artisanal skill is disappearing, they decided to develop an app that can examine tuna precisely like an expert.

, a Japanese advertising firm developed the application Tuna Scope by collaborating with Kara Sushi restaurant to bring back the significance of Tuna Mastering. It is said that the quality of Tuna can be examined just by looking. They added more than 4000 images of tuna tail which an expert would take at least ten years into the AI machine learning. It examines the tuna based on four methods that experts do as well.

The app was examined at the Yaizu Fish processing facility in Japan. They examined the application by taking hundreds of pictures of Tuna by simultaneously comparing the results of the applications and the results of the Tuna Master experts. The results were shocking. The app matched the expert at a rate of 75-85% which is more than enough for a Tuna examining. The AI is developed in such a way that the more and more the application is used, it upgrades the amazing quality of results. The hotel chain owner used this application to find great quality Tuna and marketed it has AI Tuna. More 200 plates of Tuna are sold every day in the hotel chain. The developer wants this application to be used by fish markets across the globe to create more fascinating tuna examining and to meet the global standards.
