Coca-Cola’s latest limited edition has been co-created using artificial intelligence, hinting at a strange new future for the world of soft drinks.


Boasting pink and blue coloring and a pixelated logo, the “futuristic flavored” Coca-Cola Y3000 used artificial intelligence to determine its flavor and packaging.


It comes alongside an AI-powered experience - Y3000 AI Cam - which gives consumers a quirky glimpse into what the year 3000 could look like.


This comes as part of the Coca-Cola Creations line designed to appeal to younger consumers.


Speaking of the product,
Christopher Doering, senior editor and reporter at Food Dive, explained: “As Coca-Cola looks to draw consumers into its brands for the long haul, bringing AI into the mix is a logical choice. The use of AI for Coca-Cola Y3000, along with intrigue about its flavor, fosters mystery and excitement that generates buzz among consumers who talk about it online and rush out to try the item.


“AI also may increase the likelihood of a product succeeding in the marketplace if there is more accurate insight into developing it, saving CPG companies significant time and money while simultaneously boosting sales.”


Coca-Cola Y3000 comes in zero and full sugar varieties, and is now available in the United States and Canada.

More than half of workers believe that disclosing worker compensation details on job postings will lead to better equality in pay, according to the latest iteration of LinkedIn’s Workforce Confidence Index . The index - which is based on a survey of 3,302 members in Canada between June and September 2023 - found that 52% of people asked felt that people sharing their pay information (including salary and bonus) would improve workplace equality, compared to 48% in 2022. This number varies between different generations, with younger Canadians more likely to express support for pay transparency (73%), followed by 69% of Millennials, 46% of Gen X and 44% of Baby Boomers. However, 37% of those surveyed remarked that they felt anxious about sharing their pay information - a 2% rise from the year prior. Likewise, just under half (49%) said they felt well compensated for the work they do while 74% expressed that the pay gap between CEOs and employees had become too wide. The people of LinkedIn have come out in their dozens to give their two cents on the topic, with Adrienne Tom , executive resume writer for executives, saying: “ I'm all for salary transparency, so long as the number is clear and legit. Some postings list salary ranges so wide that the actual salary number isn't entirely clear, leaving job seekers confused.” “If you have a manager who is not advocating for the pay gap, you are working for the wrong manager,” remarked career strategist Sweta Regmi , while noting that women in Ontario earn an average of $0.87 for every dollar earned by men. On the topic, she added: “Salary ranges with job postings can help close the gender pay gap while allowing companies to find qualified candidates more quickly.” Do you have a question about angel investing?
