The hackathon was held at Alfaisal University on May 12th and co-organized by the Culinary Innovation Lab (CIL) and Alfaisal\u2019s AI research center (AIC). Participants developed culinary R&amp;D co-pilots and AI-driven solutions addressing areas such as recipe innovation, sustainability, kitchen operations, and food supply chain optimization. Using generative AI, APIs, and computer vision models, teams designed smart cooking assistants, automated menu planning tools, and intelligent systems to support more efficient and sustainable food practices and incorporate the use of Saudi heritage ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"677\" src=\"https:\/\/news.alfaisal.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/564165654.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9031\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.alfaisal.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/564165654.jpg 900w, https:\/\/news.alfaisal.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/564165654-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.alfaisal.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/564165654-767x577.jpg 767w, https:\/\/news.alfaisal.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/564165654-238x179.jpg 238w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCollaborating with the Culinary Innovation Lab\u2019s team on the AI in Culinary Innovation Hackathon was a highly positive and rewarding experience from start to finish,\u201d said Dr. Areej Al-Wabil, Director of Alfaisal University\u2019s AI Research Center. \u201cThe CIL and AIC teams demonstrated a genuine commitment to creating an impactful and engaging environment for students and participants.
