Artificial intelligence technologies in the agro-industrial complex: opportunities and threats

Abstract

The article provides an analysis of the prospects for the use of artificial intelligence in the agro-industrial complex. The relevance of the study is due to the rapid development of these technologies based on various breakthroughs in the digital sphere and the significant uncertainty of the prospects for their application in agricultural production. The purpose of the paper is to study the nature and direction of the using artificial intelligence technologies in agriculture, as well as to identify problems and prospects for the using artificial intelligence technologies in agriculture in the region. These technologies are used in various fields of agriculture: identification of plant diseases, classification and identification of weeds, identification and counting of fruits, management of water and soil resources, weather (climate) and determination of animal behavior. The advantages of using artificial intelligence technologies include increasing labor productivity in the agricultural sector, improving the efficiency of managerial decision-making, expanding access to information, expanding human capabilities in the workplace and the emergence of new professions. The limitations of the using artificial intelligence technologies in agriculture in the region include the lack of funds and the high cost of these technologies. As the main measures to overcome these obstacles, we can single out an increase in state support and professional development of staff. Artificial intelligence technologies will increase the accuracy of forecasts in various areas of production, which will attract additional investments in agriculture in the region.

Ecological monitoring technologies for rational nature use

“…The product is designed to automate environmental safety and environmental protection tasks in large geographically distributed and holding companies. The solution helps to automate the processes of accounting, planning, control and formation of the necessary corporate and analytical reporting on environmental safety and environmental protection in accordance with the requirements of the legislation in the Russian Federation, industry and corporate specifics of enterprises [16][17][18][19][20][21].…”

Forming the production potential of dairy cattle breeding as a factor of sustainable development of food systems

“…The robotic milking system implements the concept of "accurate" animal husbandry, which is based on the identification of each animal, the collection and storage of information. At the same time, manual labor is excluded during the milking process due to natural voluntary milking [18][19][20][21]. This technology has found its response in the advanced farms of the region; d) the use of the "Internet of Things" helps to significantly reduce the level of production risks by using agro-sensors that helps to get accurate information in real time in a timely manner; e) the future consists in the use of artificial intelligence technologies, the essence of which is to harmonize the interaction of all elements and connections within the biotechnical system "manmachine-animal" and helps to solve a wide range of tasks: online monitoring of the milk production process; monitoring of the herd (reproduction, diseases, retirement); identification of unproductive forecasting of milk production and herd population; builds employee motivation systems based on the analysis of production data; generates analytical reports, etc.…”

Sustainable development strategy of the dairy agro-industrial complex through the use of waste-free technologies

“…Experts believe that the Russian "dairy" business will always be profitable, according to StepbyStep, only 1.8% of the population does not consume dairy products. Most of the produced milk is used for processing and production of dairy products [4][5][6].…”
