In this wildly forward-looking but ultimately fascinating and informative keynote presentation, global futurist and best-selling author Jack Uldrich will not only explain how artificial intelligence is transforming farming and agriculture, he will also explore how related advances in robotics, synthetic biology, nanotechnology, and quantum computing are all converging at this unique time in human history.
The truth is that today’s “bleeding edge” and “cutting edge” technologies are moving into the mainstream at a breakneck pace, and yesterday’s science fiction will soon be tomorrow’s science-based reality.
Advances in synthetic biology promise plants that enhance their own photosynthesis and fix their own nitrogen; quantum computing will optimize logistics and deliver ultra-precise weather forecasts; next- generation robotics will create new business models like “swarm farming” as well as new terms such as “micro-robotic pollinators,” and nanotechnology will be used to manufacture everything from self-healing crop coatings and nano-biopesticides to “smart dust” and “smart” packaging.
