Researchers have been collecting data for centuries. Now, artificial intelligence is able to learn some of that information and use it for modern day applications in agriculture.

Austin OBrienis an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Dakota State University in Madison, South Dakota. He says many colleges and universities use their own test crops and herds as a source of information and its time to put all of the research and data collection to work.

OBrien says researchers are also looking into applications for AI use in animal production.

While AI may be a comparatively new tool, OBrien says keeping information safe is something theyve been doing at Dakota State for many, many years.

OBrien says the use of AI could create even greater accuracy for things such as meeting nutrition requirements in livestock feed rations or application of crop protection products in fields. Hear much more from OBrien in this DRG Media Group Agriculture In-depth podcast.

The impact of Artificial Intelligence in agriculture will be discussed during a public event tonight (June 25, 2024) at the Community Building in Burke (822 Main Street).

Austin OBrien, an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Dakota State University in Madison is the keynote speaker. He says agriculture researchers have been collecting data for AIs to use for over a decade now.

As for where artificial intelligence is getting information from to learn, OBrien says many universities and colleges use their own test crops and herds. He says what they could really use is data from farmers and ranchers.

As humans do research and learn more about cancer, for example the methods and medications used to treat it tend to improve in efficiency. To work properly, OBrien says AIs also need access to continually updated information.

The event in Burke is hosted by the South Dakota Farm Bureau and its local county affiliates as part of the organizations Summer Event Series. It begins at 6:30pm and includes a complimentary meal.
