• What is AI-
  AI is an advanced computerized technology that emulates human intelligence and can solve problems accurately and efficiently.
  Uses of AI in agriculture –
   Weather forecasting
   Soil and crop health monitoring
   Prediction of climate change
   Disease and insect pest management
   Analyzing requirements of the crops by using precision farming
• AI in Agriculture –
  Artificial intelligence is used in various ways to improve the quality and efficiency of the agriculture sector, leveraging the technology of AI. Farmers can now make more informed decisions about allocating resources and managing crops.
  AI is used in agriculture to increase production to address the increasing food dearth because our population is Increasing day by day AI is advanced computerised technology which acts and thinks like human intelligence and can solve problems with accuracy.
  production resources are limited, we have taken steps to boost our productivity and food security by using this technology.
  Farmers have many issues during crop cultivation i.e. land shortage, costs of inputs, land degradation, fertility concerns, uneven rainfall, drought, labour dearth, climate changes, environmental issues etc. of farmers.
• Challenges of AI in agriculture –
  AI in agriculture is a significant challenge for many farmers. The reason is that requires a significant investment in technology, infrastructure, and training. Despite the many benefits of AI in agriculture, several factors make it difficult for farmers to adopt this new technology entirely. Some of the challenges given here:

1. Data collection and management–

This is one of the primary challenges of AI use in agricultural operations. The collection and management of large volumes of data in the form of algorithms. This includes weather data, soil conditions, crop health, disease and insect pests.
These data use algorithms to make complex decisions and perform complicated data and their mechanisms are also complicated and can be difficult to understand to farmers.

2. Lack of technical expertise–

Many farmers face challenges in adopting new technology, particularly due to the need for technical skills and knowledge required to operate AI-based systems. As a result, some farmers may lack the necessary training to effectively use and maintain these systems. This can lead to difficulties in utilizing AI effectively, and if the system is not operated systematically and effectively, it could have a serious impact on farmers and their production. It may lead to reduced yields and incomes for farmers.
3. Lack of awareness and availability of technology-

Awareness about new tech and machinery is a major challenge to farmers so farmers do not much attention to that technology. Farmers may hesitate to adopt the changes associated with new technologies. This is partly due to under-exposure and unfamiliarity with the new system.
In addition in the rural areas of developing countries, farmers may not have access to the training and support required to use AI systems. This can make it difficult for farmers to fully embrace AI, they fear that their production may be dwindling and high production costs.

4. High cost of investment –
One of the main challenges for farmers is the high investment cost of AI technology all farmers can’t afford this system because most of the farmers are small and their land holdings are also small only big and commercial farmers can afford this.
AI systems require significant investments in hardware and software, as well as training and support. This can be a significant barrier for small-scale farmers, who often have limited resources.
For example, small-scale farmers in a developing country may not have the financial resources to purchase and maintain an AI system.

5. Privacy and security issues –
The regulation of AI use across industries remains a major general concern. In particular, the implementation of AI in precision agriculture and smart farming raises various legal questions. For example, security threats such as cyberattacks and data leaks may cause serious problems. It is even conceivable that AI-based farming could be targeted by hackers to disrupt the food supply chain.
