Making meat sustainable over the long term

Cell-cultured Meat

ANALYST_QUICK_TAKE

<div>
 <p>Czech-based company, Bene Meat Technologies, has announced the creation of its first cultivated burger patty for people to consume. The firm asserts that the burger will have a similar price to high-quality beef.</p>
 <p>The production of the burger involves a traditional cell cultivation method, which begins with obtaining cell tissue or sourcing from a cell bank. The company formulates its media recipes and machinery internally, thereby dodging costly ingredients and intricate procedures. The burger purportedly consists of nearly 90% cultivated beef cells, with the remaining made up of spices and less significant ingredients.</p>
 <p>According to Bene Meat Technologies, its dedication to cost-efficient and scalable production has helped it match the price of premium beef. Currently, the company is building a larger facility estimated to produce roughly 200 tons of their product annually, with completion expected in 2025.</p>
 </div> <p><b>Analyst QuickTake:<br>
 </b> The price premium of cultivated meat products is a major consumer pain point deterring mass adoption. This has led companies to develop innovative cost-reduction methods such as FBS-free alternatives and novel production methods. In <a href="https:<br>
//sp-edge.com/updates/11598"> July 2022 </a> , SciFi Foods achieved an R&amp;D milestone that reportedly allowed the company to reduce the cost of growing beef cells by more than 1,000x and achieve price parity.</p>

 <p>LatticeFlow, an AI model evaluation platform, has introduced Compl-AI, a unique evaluation framework to check compliance with the EU AI Act. Available as a free, open-source architecture, the system analyses large language models (LLMs) over 27 technical fields, based on the Act's six ethical guidelines.</p>
 <p>The Compl-AI platform evaluates LLM responses across aspects like bias in responses, general awareness, prejudiced conclusions, adherence to harmful instructions, truthfulness, memorization of copyrighted information, common sense logic, goal manipulation, and prompt leakage. Each model's rating scales from 0 (non-compliant) to 1 (fully compliant), with N/A ratings in case of inadequate data.</p>
 <p>Moreover, the platform reveals the drawbacks of current models and benchmarks, specifically in areas such as robustness, safety, diversity, and fairness. LatticeFlow also suggests that this method could be adapted to review AI models against future regulatory laws, making it a beneficial tool for organizations operating in various jurisdictions.</p>
