On the other hand, Jeton discussed how AI technology can be used to improve the quality of physical activity.

In addition to discussing the basic theories of nutrition and exercise, the event also provided an opportunity for participants to ask questions directly to the speakers, enriching their insights on how technology, especially AI, can change the way we live a healthy life.
