artificial intelligence → technology that simulates human intelligence machine learning → learning from data to make decisions without explicit instructions neural networks → learning models inspired by the brain, made of layered nodes that find patterns Amplifying Discovery Yanming Di (opposite, in orange) places a seed into the Ergo Vision to take its photo. The AI used by the team must be trained on high-quality images to differentiate between species of seeds. Human beings are still needed at every step as the neural networks learn, but the ultimate goal is a portable tool farmers can use on site (like the prototype on this page).
