Using of artificial intelligence in the development of human capital working in the agricultural sector

The article discusses how artificial intelligence can be used for the development of human capital in companies working in the agricultural sector. The article provides an overview of the ways in which artificial intelligence can be used in the interests of human capital development, including training, crop monitoring, precision farming, data analysis, autonomous vehicles and mechanisms, improving the efficiency of workers working with livestock. Our research relies on a number of sources, including reports and research from organizations such as McKinsey, Deloitte and Frost & Sullivan, to support the claims made in the article. The article also highlights the potential advantages of artificial intelligence in increasing the efficiency and productivity of agricultural operations, as well as in providing opportunities for advanced training and retraining of workers in this sector. Using the capabilities of artificial intelligence, companies can improve the accuracy and speed of decision-making, reduce waste and increase crop yields. In addition, artificial intelligence can help reduce the physical strain on workers, allowing them to focus on higher-level tasks that require human skills and expertise.
