Artificial intelligence is becoming a routine tool on Estonian farms, mainly for handling data, ERR News reports. Airika Verrev, a production manager at Pajo Ranch, said AI tools improved markedly over this year and she now asks them to build her spreadsheets, analyse figures and find relevant legal provisions, though she checks everything they produce.
Marten Madissoo, an assistant professor at the Estonian University of Life Sciences, said farmers still need their own expertise but could benefit from pooling years of existing field records into analytical models. He pointed to robotics trials, including AI quality checks on a meat producer's packaging line. Estonia's parliament, the Riigikogu, is also considering a change to plant protection law that would allow crops to be sprayed by drone under certain conditions.
