Feature: Chilean farmers interact with land through virtual assistant

Scientists work at the Center for Advanced Studies in Fruit Cultivation (CEAF) in Rengo, Chile, on May 14, 2018. A group of Chilean scientists is applying artificial intelligence to help a sector not usually associated with this kind of high technology--fruit farmers. The team has designed a special software called Agronomic Simulation and Agroclimatic Information, known by its Spanish acronym SAIA, which places real-time data about the soil, plants and weather at farmers' fingertips.
