The Promise of AI in Plant Breeding

Our Thoughts

Our Thoughts

Artificial intelligence is already changing the world. Its greatest potential, however, may lie in its ability to advance one of society’s oldest industries: agriculture.  

Seeing patterns where humans cannot and making accurate predictions out of vast data sets, AI is rapidly chipping away at what has been considered a holy grail of biology – understanding the causal relationships between genes and what they impact. Combined with the groundbreaking ability to perform precise gene edits, it is helping turn the previously time-consuming craft of plant breeding into an efficient, data-driven process that will help ensure food security for a growing global population, while better caring for our planet and improving farmer well-being through economically sustainable solutions.
