Generative AI and Its Impact on Sugarcane Industry: An Insight into Modern Agricultural Practices

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) offers remarkable opportunities for transforming sugarcane agriculture, promising significant improvements in crop cultivation, processing, and sustainability. This short communication delineates GAI’s prospective applications in the sugar industry, emphasizing tangible benefits and outlining the necessary steps toward integrating this innovative technology effectively. Implementing GAI, while challenging, primarily due to the required investment, infrastructure development, data privacy concerns, and workforce training, is crucial for optimizing crop yield, sustainability, and enhancing bioethanol production from sugarcane. Recognizing and addressing these challenges through multi-stakeholder collaboration, policy formulation, and robust data security measures is fundamental, as is the need for ongoing research and development in applying GAI to the sugar industry to realize global sustainability goals.
