Abstract
Traditionally, agriculture has been a labor-intensive industry, heavily reliant on human effort and manual labor. The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping this narrative. AI is introducing automation and precision into farming practices, leading to increased efficiency and productivity. AI-powered robots are now capable of performing practices such as seed sowing, watering the crops and harvesting the produce. Furthermore, AI algorithms possess the capability to scrutinize extensive data sets sourced from diverse outlets like weather forecasts, soil sensors, and satellite imagery, which enables them to furnish farmers with meticulous guidance regarding planting times, irrigation quantities, and harvest schedules. Such guidance not only enhances resource utilization but also amplifies crop yields. However, AI-powered drones equipped with advanced imaging capabilities can scan large tracts of farmland to identify signs of pest infestation or disease outbreak. In essence, AI is transforming agriculture from a labor-intensive sector into a knowledge-intensive one.
