Tourists visiting Canada will now have a unique recommendation from Microsoft AI as one of their must-see spots: a food bank.
In a recent pilot program, Microsoft AI was used to provide tourist recommendations from an AI-driven mobile app. While the app was initially designed to suggest popular tourist spots, the AI came up with an unexpected recommendation – a visit to a food bank. As a result, Microsoft has decided to update the app to include food banks in its list of “cannot miss” tourist spots in Canada.
According to Microsoft, the AI was able to make the suggestion because it noticed a high volume of positive sentiment on social media related to food banks, and the app’s algorithm adjusted the results accordingly. The AI also noticed that the positive sentiment was coming from all parts of the country, showing a consistent pattern across different regions.
Microsoft believes that this initiative has the potential to show solidarity and support to those in need. While the AI is only providing an automated suggestion, the company hopes that it will provide an opportunity for tourists to pause and reflect on the issue of food insecurity in Canada while providing a potential platform for donations.
Regardless of whether tourists decide to make a donation or just observe, the additional AI-generated recommendation allows visitors to experience a unique form of tourism – one that has the potential to make a positive impact.
Microsoft’s initiative has been celebrated by people across the country, as it opens up a conversation on the topic of food insecurity while creating a platform to provide assistance. It is definitely a “cannot miss” experience for tourists in Canada.
