Technology is changing the way the world thinks about farming, and it can be a great tool, but if often sends worries of job loss and replacement.
“There’s a group of people that feel there to be displaced by AI. There’s a group that’s also really optimistic about it, but, you know, this isn’t meant to replace people; it’s meant to enhance you, allow you to focus on the value. And I think there’s a space for people and the added co-exist where the person actually is able to focus on value generation and value creation,” said Sachi Desai.
There are a lot of different uses for artificial intelligence in a farming operation. Desai says the goal is limiting unneeded complexities and using software to do it.
“AI should allow us to think about adapting software to our needs, not us continuing to adapt to software, like, I have to learn a lot of widgets of how to use Adobe Photoshop. With the way AI’s going, the way you start focusing on value, then you should be able to think from about thinking what you’re actually trying to solve for, and then everything else is more or less ancillary.”
Advancements in AI on the farm have grown by leaps and bounds over the last couple of years, and it is not slowing down anytime soon. Analysts with Texas A&M say the artificial intelligence market will grow 30 percent between now and 2033.
