Study: Artificial intelligence will be vital for farmers & consumers
Most Americans believe AI will be a force for good, particularly when it comes to the agriculture industry.
Ceres Imaging, Oakland, Calif., released the results of a new survey gauging Americans’ feelings about artificial intelligence (AI) and farming. The survey of more than 2,000 U.S. adults, conducted on behalf of Ceres Imaging by Propeller Insights, City of Commerce, Calif., in January, determined that most Americans believe AI will be a force for good, particularly when it comes to the agriculture industry.
More than half of Americans (61%)—in particular, Millennials (70%) and men (69%)—feel that AI will help humanity, especially when it comes to making better use of global resources and efficient farming practices, like improving crop yield (35%), extending water usage (25%) and preventing starvation (22%).
