Google DeepMind researchers in Bengaluru have built two foundational AI models – Agricultural Landscape Understanding (ALU) and Agricultural Monitoring & Event Detection (AMED), reports Financial Express. These AI models provide farmers with data-driven insights by utilising satellite imagery and machine learning. With an aim to support smallholder farmers, Google is expanding their reach to Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia and Japan.
“We have always believed that solutions that address India’s most pressing challenges can also solve for the world,” said Alok Talekar, lead of agriculture and sustainability research at Google DeepMind. “These two agri AI models, which were first built to strengthen India’s agricultural resilience, will now also support agricultural sustainability across the Asia-Pacific region, within just months of these models’ India-first releases,” he told FE.
