About this episode

AI can solve some of today's most complex challenges, and over the years this has become reality even in the agricultural industry. Due to environmental factors and other threats, sustainable farming is becoming more at risk, and by harnessing the power of AI, tools to help local farmers are more accessible on a global scale. In this episode, learn how Rishikesh Amit Nayaka and Niharika Haridas used AI and Intel’s OpenVino technology to detect pests, and make farming equitable and successful in India. Additionally, they are joined by Intel’s Director of Government Partnerships and Initiatives for Japan and the Asian Pacific, Shweta Khurana, who explains Intel’s work with developing the latest voices in AI innovation.
