Edible electronics and AI-guided nutrition algorithms are some of the newest technological trends. But where do we draw the line in incorporating tiny computers into our bodies and allowing artificial intelligence to direct our decision-making? At what point does the justification outweigh the moral risks? Just as digital transactions can provide insurance companies with information about our eating habits, electronic foods can inform doctors if we took our medications. Just as companies may charge you more for life insurance because you have pizza-night twice a week, nutrition algorithms could very likely suggest for you to eat the products of specific food manufacturers. These are systems of control. Edible electronics can be ingested from food just like neural dust can be inhaled from the air. Both can provide real-time readouts of internal bodily function. These technologies, mixed with genetic engineering and certain medical gene 'therapies', may just create gene-specific foods/electronics that can only be digested if one has the proper approved genetic 'mark'.
