Abstract

Agriculture is undergoing a transformation thanks to artificial intelligence (AI), which boosts quality, sustainability, and productivity. It has the ability to recognize novel patterns in data, apply pesticides effectively, and assess crop quality. AI can predict when crops will be harvested, estimate yields, and monitor soil health to help feed the world. Robotics, sensing, and machine vision powered by AI cut waste, solve labor shortages, and increase harvesting precision. Spraying with intelligence lowers expenses and crop waste.
