In a new @ScienceMagazine op-ed, @IsmahaneElouafi explains how AI must augment, not replace, human expertise in agriculture 🚀
To succeed, AI must:
• Put farmers at the center
• Partner with scientists
• Build FAIR data systems
• Stress-test tools ⤵️

In Abu Dhabi, we’re improving access to crop diversity! 🌱
With the UAE Presidential Court & @ai71official, we are building an #AgriLLM to help users find traits across our genebanks 700k accessions, in seconds 🧬
The teams are now scoping the product & defining the roadmap! ⤵️
AI can either bake in old biases or build a more gender equitable future.
Studies show that current AI models often struggle with gender inclusivity.
But @CGIAR believes that when AI is designed intentionally, it becomes a powerful catalyst for women, girls to excel in STEM.🔬👩💻
📢 Our webinar, "From Lab to Field: Designing and Testing Agricultural LLMs," is happening today! As part of our joint series with @IFPRI, there is still time to join us.
