E143: ChatGPT Comes to Agriculture

ChatGPT, and a slew of advanced artificial intelligence tools, have created quite a stir since first becoming available to the public in late 2021. News stories about these programs creating art, writing college essays, and carrying on long and complex conversations have captured global audiences, and the attention of companies who see a world of new possibilities. Now, artificial intelligence is coming to agriculture.

She’ll dig into announcements from companies like Farmers Business Network, who are already launching tools to help farmers make better decisions, powered by a whole internet's worth of information. Plus, we’ll explore the current limitations of these innovations, and discuss how curious ag professionals can start exploring for themselves. Then, catch up on Katie’s recent reporting about Kansas farmland ownership, and what it might mean for ongoing discussions about out-of-state and foreign land purchases, and don’t miss her update on the next 2023's DTN Ag Summit Series.Learn more and register for the DTN Ag Summit Series at dtn.com/2023-ag-summit-series.
