When you hear the term “artificial intelligence” it may bring to mind images of autonomous robots or deep fake internet videos or some other grandiose technology becoming self-aware. But the reality is the more likely scenario on your farm in the near future is more like a way to tap into your own data to make better decisions. Sumer Johal is the CEO of Almanac, a company that recently announced an AI tool of their own called Alma.
Johal… “The contextual relevance of what you want to do at any given point in time is informed by so many different factors. It's really helpful to have an assistant of sorts, right? That kind of helps you sift through that make sense of it. You're still the person in charge, but you have something that is helping you sift through that and make it a little bit easier for you and make it a little bit more convenient for you and save you some time. We look at it more from a perspective of what can AI do to unlock the wisdom that's locked up in all this data? And it can be made easily available to the users who owns the data and really make their lives just a little bit easier and a little bit more accurate. And if we can do that at scale, I think we've done our job.”
That’s Almanac CEO Sumer Johal.
