What should I look out for with AI in the agricultural sector?
Farm data (plots, yields, inputs) is commercially sensitive and partly falls under European rules on agricultural data (EU Data Act). Check whether cloud platforms use field data for model training and whether data is stored outside the EU. AI advice on crop protection is supportive only, the proof-of-use obligations and spraying licences remain with the farmer. Animal data in livestock farming may contain personal data of owners.
