Can We Trust AI Agents in the Supermarket? Sugar Content Inference from Product Images
arXiv:2608.12359v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Nutritional labels are legally permitted to appear in very small print, reducing real-world readability and encouraging consumers to rely on 'AI nutrition lens' and vision-capable conversational agents for dietary guidance. We evaluate whether such AI-mediated advice can meaningfully substitute for regulated labeling using a bounded, verifiable task: inferring which of two packaged foods contains less sugar from front-of-pack images alone.
