Artificial general intelligence is a digital boogeyman for many. One group of researchers argues it could also help fight climate change and feed the world.
The same could be done for stewarding the Earth through agriculture and climate initiatives, the paper’s authors argue. Specifically, they make the case that AGI can possibly reduce emissions through a variety of core processes. For example, AGI could help enhance and power a new generation of agricultural robotics to perform tasks like weeding, fertilizing, harvesting, and crop scouting.
“AI is already a thing in agriculture,” Daniel Kaiser, the Environmental Defense Fund’s director of agricultural innovation, told The Daily Beast. “It’s data, sensors, and how AI can be used to interpret data to give farmers better insights into management decisions.” However, Kaiser said that the industry is facing a bit of a “chicken and egg” situation where farmers have all of this AI-powered data and analytics—but the hardware hasn’t caught up with them in order to do anything about it. “That’s what a lot of new startups are trying to do: they’re trying to marry the software into machines that can actually take action,” Kaiser explained.
Beyond facilitating and enhancing cool hardware, though, perhaps the most impactful application for something like AGI to help solve things like world hunger and farming during a climate crisis is genetic engineering in plants and animals. Kaiser explained that AI is already being utilized to make identifying functional groups of genes “much more rapid.”
