In particular, the launch of the Phenomics and Plant Robotics Center has created a nucleus for interdisciplinary collaboration and convergence of robotics, AI, and computational sciences in agriculture. The recent successes of the Center and its affiliated members in winning large national competitive grants have laid a strong foundation for this AI Institute proposal and future large grants. UGA also has long-standing strengths in world-class agricultural research programs, including plant breeding, genetics and genomics; integrated pest management; poultry science; and food science and technology. These fundamental and applied research activities are complemented with strong Extension outreach programs and numerous industry collaborations and partnerships. In addition to food production, Georgia is also home to numerous food processing companies, putting us in an excellent position to address AI solutions for the increasing problem of food waste.<\/p>\n

The overall goal of the team and the Institute for AI-Driven Innovation in Agricultural and Food Systems is to leverage AI-based technologies to enable transformational innovations in the agri-food system across multiple scales, all with a common focus on risk mitigation and enhancing resilience. The use-inspired research will inform foundational AI research and accelerate AI-powered innovations.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
