Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology that demonstrates behavior that can be described as human intelligence. Artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science that deals with the simulation of intelligent behavior in computers. AI refers to the ability of machines to perform cognitive tasks such as thinking, perceiving, learning and problem-solving and decision making. AI technologies can predict the most accurate crop for a specific area and time. Today, how to ensure food security for the world’s growing population is one of the major global challenges, while at the same time ensuring long-term sustainable development. According to the FAO, food production must grow by 70% to feed the world's population, which will reach 9 billion by 2050. Policy makers need to make AI a key element in flagship programs such as Make in India, Skill India and Digital India. Farmers need to look for cognitive technologies (e.g. AI) to increase crop yields. It largely solves the problem of shortage of resources and manpower. Artificial intelligence can prove to be a technological revolution and boom agriculture to feed the growing human population of the world.
