Brooks Hamilton has been studying artificial intelligence for over 20 years, since “before AI was cool,” and he was the keynote speaker for the opening general session at the AgGateway annual meeting this week in Nashville. His presentation was on the “Seismic Changes” the AI revolution is bringing that will “reshape the industrial fabric.”
Hamilton was thrilled to be able to speak to such an innovative group. “I’ve worked with a number of other industries where they struggle with data challenges and I’ve been especially impressed with the leadership that AgGateway has provided for this industry to go about sorting out some of those thorny issues,” he said.
Hamilton talked about how AI is here and now and companies need to be at least developing a strategy for its use, especially here in agriculture. “For growers, that is going to be related to robotics, however there are all the other operational items – when do I buy, when do I plant, operational questions, transportation, logistics – those are the areas that can be made to be more autonomous and automated,” he said.
