Apports de l’intelligence artificielle à la conception de la blockchain : cas de la supply chain alimentaire

Ensuring food safety is one of the major challenges facing the food supply chain (FSC). Enhancing food safety helps prevent contamination by pathogenic bacteria and deterioration in product quality. These safety issues are often caused by the lack of an effective, reliable, and scalable traceability system. To address this challenge, the integration of advanced technologies associated with Industry 4.0 has become essential among which blockchain stands out as one of the most promising solutions. The aim of this doctoral research project is to design a transparent, secure, and decentralized food supply chain (FSC) by leveraging two key technologies: blockchain and artificial intelligence. To achieve this, answers must be found to three central questions: - How can artificial intelligence improve blockchain performance, particularly in terms of scalability and security? - What is the impact of blockchain design through artificial intelligence techniques on overall FSC profitability? - How could artificial intelligence leverage blockchain data to help SCA players predict food safety issues and make appropriate decisions? We are seeking candidates with a Master's degree in Industrial Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science/Applied Mathematics, or an engineering degree with a strong interest in supply chain management applications within the food sector.
