My colleagues Nitin Nahata and Nalini Polavarapu are advancing how Bayer | Crop Science is using AI to bring value to our customers, the broader food and agriculture industries, and bring greater efficiency to our own operations. I was pleased to see their teams' work highlighted this morning by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Some of this work we've been doing for more than a decade, including seed technology development and optimizing our supply chain to accelerate innovation to farmer customers and reduce our environmental footprint. We've also integrated #AI into digital platforms like Climate FieldView to power agronomic recommendations for farmers. We are also thoroughly exploring how to use #genAI to bring value to farmers, agronomists, and the broader industry. A couple months ago at Agritechnica in Germany, we presented new large language model (LLM) capabilities with a prototype for an "agriculture copilot." Built on Microsoft Azure OpenAI and the Azure Data Manager for Agriculture, the prototype taps generative AI to help end users receive actionable insights from their farm data, simply by asking questions. For example, farmers or agronomists could type into a chat interface, “Which of my fields had an in-season crop protection application in 2023,” or “Which of my fields had recent harvest activity?”  We're testing multiple scenarios where LLM capabilities could add value through the ability to interact with farm data in a natural way, but for thousands of customers of farmers and agronomists who manage dozens of fields (sometimes 100+) you can imagine how this could benefit their complex operations. At Bayer, we have a mission of #HealthforAll and #HungerforNone. This drives our commitment to using and delivering cutting-edge technologies that can address some of the world’s biggest challenges. Without a doubt in my mind, the rapid advancements in generative AI and related technologies will benefit our customers and help us accomplish this mission. #TeamBayer
