As a major federal funder of Artificial Intelligence research, The U.S. National Science Foundation advances AI breakthroughs that solidify our position as the global leader in AI and secure a brighter future for all Americans. We’ll explore how Artificial Intelligence technologies help support the nation’s agricultural production needs in the U.S. National Science Foundation’s “Discovery Files”.
“We’re obviously very dependent on farms to keep us fed and to the extent that we can get help automation wise from artificial intelligence systems, that’s a tremendous benefit to everyone.”
Michael Littman is NSF’s division director for Information and Intelligent Systems. Cutting-edge multidisciplinary research in Artificial Intelligence, champions translational research that links innovation with science and the economy. AI methods are being integrated in agriculture both in the classroom, helping to train the next-generation agricultural workforce and on the ground in food production.
“Figuring out how to solve problems like reducing fertilizer runoff, monitoring crops, managing water allocations and identifying new pathogens. These are all different ways that artificial intelligence technology can help solve critical problems in the agricultural domain.”
