applications of AI
Today, companies and organizations are increasingly adopting the use of artificial intelligence for various uses.AI has currently become a potent tool that has enabled organizations to stand out with their competitors, ease tasks and reduce the probability of making errors. The agricultural sector has not been left out in the use of artificial intelligence. Taking into account that the agricultural sector significantly contributes to most countries’ economies, both developing and developed countries, AI can be potentially used to improve both productivity and effectiveness. We can also comprehend how the widespread use of artificial intelligence could mean for the global economic situation. Factors including climate change and demographic issues are some of the concerns that greatly encourage the adoption of AI to improve food security and seek improved ways of protecting crops. However, it is notable that as humans increasingly opt for artificial intelligence and machine learning, human labor is slowly becoming replaced, which is causing a threat to human work. Some applications of AI that are rapidly replacing human labor include the use of agricultural robots. Agricultural robots are making self-controlling machines that are performing planting, seeding, and harvesting tasks faster than humans workers.
An example of this is the blue river technologies that came up with a robot called “see and spray” to control and oversee the spraying of weeds and cotton plants. This robotic machine has significantly reduced human labor. Additionally, the agricultural field has developed applications for monitoring crop and soil health, tasks that were formerly done by humans.
An instance of this is the plantix, an application developed to called check crop and soil health. Machine algorithms have also been increasingly adopted in predictive analysis to monitor crop yields. An agricultural company in colorado named Awhere is a good illustration of machines working long with satellites to check crop diseases and predict the weather. As we explore the use of AI in agricultural industries, it is no doubts that human will increasingly lose their jobs as the agrarian sector competes for higher volumes and pace compared to human laborers.
