Questions

How safe is Natutec Scout for greenhouse horticulture?
Natutec Scout publishes limited privacy safeguards. Ask the provider for clarification before you put confidential horticulture data into it. Limited or partly unclear safeguards, ask the provider.
Does Natutec Scout train on my data?
own image recognition (machine learning); not a language model. Scouting data is stored centrally and can be viewed by Koppert advisers. The general privacy statement of Koppert (2018, not specific to the app) mentions storage in data centres of service providers in Germany (according to the provider).
What should I look out for with AI in greenhouse horticulture?
Cultivation and climate data are commercially sensitive: they reveal your growing strategy, yield and energy consumption. Put in the contract that you remain owner of your data, where it is stored (ask for EU hosting) and whether the provider may use anonymised data from your greenhouse to improve its algorithms. If there is a chat function, ask which language model and which sub-processors sit behind it; most greenhouse platforms do not disclose this. If you record labour per employee, or cameras and robots capture images showing staff, you are processing personal data: conclude a data processing agreement and inform your employees. Never let an autonomous control system run without boundaries: set minimum and maximum values, keep alerts active and remain ultimately responsible for the crop and crop protection yourself.
