Artificial Intelligence - AI - is taking over the world. The sooner we accept that fact the better we might be able to adjust to the new reality.
-
This includes agriculture where robotics, precision farming, and other forms of AI are already showing substantial benefits.

Given agriculture in general is consolidating, fewer farmers will be needed, particularly with machines driven by AI make the system more efficient.
My friend and former colleague Kieran Gartlan, and one-time tour guide of Brazil, who just happened to introduce me to the national cocktail Caipirinha, recently wrote an interesting piece titled “Messy Job: Why AI Won’t Replace the Farmer”. Kieran’s points are well taken, particularly when he defines what a “messy”[i] job is: one that is difficult to describe and almost impossible to predict”. Kieran is describing chaos, as in Chaos Theory, a factor that makes prediction nearly impossible as well.
