AI in Agriculture: Innovation and Discovery to Equitably Meet Producer Needs and Perceptions - April 17-19, 2023 | Orlando, FL
This year's conference will primarily focus on two high priority topics in AI – developing and implementing adoption-ready AI tools and technologies, and socio-economic equity in AI adoption. Last year many CAIA affiliate faculty and graduate students participated and represented CAIA's presence at the conference. I hope this year CAIA will continue to have our presence at this conference through your participation.
Abstraction Submission is by February 1, 2023. Please email Becca Emery if you intend to submit an abstract. CAIA will provide a certain amount of travel support if your abstract is accepted by the conference.
