AI technology to aid padi farmers


KUALA LUMPUR: Padi farmers throughout the country can soon turn to Rakan Tani, a homegrown artificial intelligence (AI) co-pilot for real-time, personalised farming advice via WhatsApp.

The moves comes after the nationwide rollout of the conversational, generative AI-powered assistant to help padi farmers following a collaboration between Digital Ministry, Agriculture and Food Security Ministry, National AI Office (NAIO), Padiberas Nasional Bhd (Bernas) and Global AI Village (Gaiv).
