ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN AGRICULTURE: APPLICATIONS IN PORTUGAL
Abstract
As technology advances continue to redefine artificial intelligence (AI), it has become a focal point for researchers and industry specialists. The creation of robots that mimic human cognitive functions including learning, reasoning, and self-correction is referred to as artificial intelligence (AI). AI’s rising precision and efficiency have been demonstrated by its wide range of applications across industries, and agriculture has embraced the technology to boost productivity and income. To gain a thorough understanding of the topic, a review of previous research on artificial intelligence in agriculture was conducted. Additionally, this paper takes a practical approach to the potential of artificial intelligence in agriculture. It addresses the emergence of new techniques and methods, applies a quantitative approach, and examines how experts, academics, and agriculture professionals view the application of AI in agriculture. By providing insights that are relevant in both academic and practical contexts, it aids in the creation of actual applications.
