Abstract: The integration of artificial intelligence into grocery retail represents a transformative opportunity to address the global burden of lifestyle-related diseases through personalized nutrition interventions. This article analyzes how AI-driven technologies are revolutionizing the traditional transactional model of food retail into an active partner in public health promotion. By leveraging machine learning algorithms that process diverse health data sources including wearables, medical records, and dietary preferences, modern AI systems can generate highly personalized meal plans and shopping recommendations that significantly improve dietary adherence and health outcomes. The implementation of these technologies extends beyond individual benefits to encompass broader societal impacts, including the reduction of nutritional disparities in underserved communities, optimization of fresh food supply chains to minimize waste, and the creation of economically sustainable healthcare models through preventive nutrition. Major retail chains have successfully deployed AI-powered platforms that demonstrate measurable improvements in customer health metrics while simultaneously achieving business value through increased engagement and revenue growth. However, the deployment of AI in this sensitive intersection of commerce and health necessitates robust ethical frameworks addressing data privacy, equitable access, and regulatory governance. Future developments in quantum computing, microbiome integration, and augmented reality promise to further enhance the capabilities of AI-powered nutrition systems. This research provides a comprehensive roadmap for stakeholders seeking to leverage AI technology to create a healthier society through smarter food choices, while highlighting the critical considerations that must guide responsible implementation.
