Artificial intelligence could be used to make your next pizza, if you order one at T-Mobile Park.
A Seattle startup called Picnic has developed a machine capable of turning out hundreds of pizzas an hour.
The CEO of the company said the machine can also help solve a staffing shortage in the food services industry.
You can make different pizzas, each one in a row, said Clayton Wood, CEO of Picnic.
The machine gets the pizza order from an iPad app that was developed in-house, at the companys office and lab in Seattles Interbay neighborhood.

I make my pizza and calzones at home
Does it demand $15 an hour?
Went to an airshow when I was a kid and there was a machine doing just that. You punched in your ingredients and out popped a personal sized pizza in about ten minutes.
A red vending machine?
No, and therein lies the rub.
Details to be worked about cooking pizza at this rate of output and how to box it.
Who is folding all the required boxes?
Well actually it was. There was a guy there making sure everything went okay - you could see your pizza as it’s put together and move along, baked, and slide out; boxes handy.
When will we be able to print our pizzas?
I mean, if we can print guns and human organs, pizza should be a snap.
They already have 3-D printed food, including pizza.
You are a socialist, pizzaphobe, anti-Italian, racist /S
Me too!
“It uses artificial intelligence to tell what size crust is being put into the machine, as well as whether the crust is a crust at all.”
AI?
It’s gonna taste like the local pizzerias where the 110 year old Italian grandmother is in the kitchen with her sons and their sons?
i dunno
Here’s one instance where I don’t have a dog in the fight. I used to help manage a couple of pizza joints in my misspent youth, and I can say from experience that it doesn’t matter if the pizza was made by a monkey or HAL 9000 - it’s the ingredients that make the pie.
From what I remember it wasn’t bad. Better than Domino’s cardboard with tomato paste on it.
Anything to distract the audience from the Mariners on the field.
Frozen pizzas are already made by machines
I bet!
“staffing shortages”
I don’t think we have any shortage.
Aren’t criminals on parole required to seek employment?
