A podcast about the automation of everything. Host Jennifer Strong and the team at MIT Technology Review look at what it means to entrust artificial intelligence with our most sensitive decisions.
The future of farming lies in space
AI is used in agriculture to precisely target weeds and optimize irrigation practices. It’s also being used in ways you might not expect, like for tracking the health of cow pastures—from space. We travel from test farms to orchards in the first of a two-part series on agriculture, AI, and satellites.
We Meet:
Greg Brickner, Veterinarian and grazing specialist at Organic Valley
Geoff Klein, irrigation manager of Bullseye Farms
John Bourne, SVP Ceres Imaging
Deanna Kovar, VP of Production and Precision Ag Production Systems at John Deere
Jahmy Hindman, CTO at John Deere
