VofV Podcast: How AI on the Farm Can Sense What Humans Can’t

In this week’s episode of the Voices of the Valley podcast, Larry Taylor, Co-Founder of The Yield Lab Asia Pacific, and Mark DeSantis, CEO at Bloomfield Robotics, bust the myth that artificial intelligence isn’t as adaptable as human intelligence when it comes to managing the health of specialty crops.

Listen as the duo delve into the specifics of how AI works in the field, citing real-world successes Bloomfield has had with vineyards in Bordeaux.
