Title	"Artificial intelligence for smart agriculture" ＜Abstract＞ In the era of Big Data, artificial intelligence (AI), especially machine learning and deep learning, has become an important tool in agriculture. AI can automate various labor-intensive tasks such as crop yield estimation, disease detection, and agroecosystem health assessment. I will present a variety of AI applications in agricultural studies ranging from soil microbes to country-wide crop yield prediction. One example is working with 1,000 smallholder farmers in Peru and Colombia to develop a portable AI device that can help farmers predict crop yield using their own smartphones. I will also present career paths in research in Germany for young scientists.
