Artificial Intelligence in Agriculture

Abstract

AI and sustainable agriculture have emerged as two intersecting fields with the potential to revolutionize food production and address pressing environmental challenges. This chapter explores the integration of AI technologies into agricultural practices to enhance efficiency and productivity while considering the ethical implications associated with this transformation. The application of AI in sustainable agriculture offers numerous benefits, including improved crop yield, resource optimization, and enhanced pest and disease management. Nevertheless, there are also moral issues with the use of AI in agriculture. Data privacy, security, and equitable access to AI technologies are essential to prevent data exploitation and uphold an equitable agricultural environment. The ethical concerns brought up by the application of AI in agriculture must be addressed in order to create an equitable, inclusive, and ecologically responsible agricultural system.
