What are your thoughts on AI in ag?? If you could use your smartphone snap photos if your crops and instantly diagnose diseases, pests, fungus, and weeds (using AI); would this be useful to you? What would it take for you to trust crop recommendations coming from an AI system?

Without doubt, AI will play a role in diagnosis, identification, and perhaps even recommendation. In the talks I’m giving I shed light on the decision-making process, which has two parts. Prediction which pulls together the analytical information and judgment, which is based on experiential wisdom. I think Agriculture will be a combination of high-tech and high touch for sometime. I often think of AI as augmented intelligence rather than artificial intelligence. And I think this is how it will unfold in agronomics.

It could reduce agronomists impact and allow for machines to make decisions as they operate regarding spray, fertilizer, and seed placement or amount.
