Agriculture
AI is helping farmers grow more food with less effort.
It supports better crop care, weather predictions, and
automation of farming tasks. For example:
• Farming with technology: AI helps farmers track
weather, soil conditions, and crop health, allowing
them to use fewer resources like water and fertiliser
while growing more food.
• Detecting plant diseases: AI can quickly spot diseases in plants by analysing images of
crops, allowing farmers to take action before diseases spread too much.
• Smart irrigation: AI-driven irrigation systems adjust water delivery based on real-time soil
conditions, optimising water usage and conserving resources.
• Drones for monitoring: Drones equipped with AI monitor crop health and detect issues
such as pests or diseases from the air.
• Agricultural robotics: AI-powered robots assist in tasks like weeding, planting, and
harvesting, improving efficiency and reducing human labour.
Healthcare
AI is supporting doctors, nurses, and hospitals to provide
better care for patients. It helps in early disease detection,
treatment planning, and patient management. For example:
• Helping doctors diagnose diseases: AI can look at
X-rays, pictures, and other medical tests to help doctors
find out what is wrong with a patient. This helps doctors
make decisions faster and more accurately.
• Robots in surgery: Some hospitals use robots with AI to help doctors perform delicate
surgeries with great precision.
• Medicine creation: AI helps scientists find new medicines faster. It can look at a lot of data
and suggest which medicines might work for different diseases.
Brainy Fact
IBM Watson is an AI system that helps doctors diagnose diseases and recommend
treatments.
