Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the fight against world hunger
Kugler L. Communications of the ACM65 (2):17-19,2022.Type:Article
Date Reviewed: Jun 26 2023

In this provocative article, Kugler offers an in-depth examination of the tremendous impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in solving one of humanity’s most important problems: world hunger. This study explores how these cutting-edge technologies are transforming agricultural methods and supporting global food security programs.

The complex interactions between AI and machine learning, and their potential to transform agriculture and food production, are skillfully presented. Kugler makes a strong case for how these technologies can optimize crop yields, improve livestock management, and increase total agricultural productivity.

The author’s ability to concisely and clearly explain difficult ideas is one of this article’s significant strengths. The information is interesting and intelligible for a wide readership due to Kugler’s deft handling of the technical facets of AI and machine learning. Furthermore, Kugler’s arguments are strengthened by the inclusion of pertinent real-world examples and case studies, which also offer verifiable proof of the beneficial effects that these technologies have already had on solving issues related to hunger.

The essay also explores how AI and machine learning are incorporated into precision agriculture, where sensors, drones, and data analysis help to maximize crop productivity while minimizing resource consumption. In addition to boosting agricultural productivity, this innovative strategy also encourages sustainable practices, which are essential in the fight against world hunger.

Kugler also discusses how AI and machine learning could be used to improve food distribution methods and lower post-harvest losses. These technologies can streamline supply chains, reduce waste, and guarantee that food is more effectively delivered to the most vulnerable populations by utilizing clever algorithms and predictive analytics.

Although the article’s main focus is the enormous potential of AI and machine learning, it also acknowledges the limitations and ethical concerns related to its use. Concerns about data privacy, algorithmic bias, and access discrepancies are thoughtfully addressed by Kugler, who emphasizes the necessity for responsible and inclusive implementation.

In conclusion, Kugler’s article offers a stimulating and in-depth examination of the revolutionary potential of AI and machine learning in tackling global hunger. Researchers, decision-makers, and practitioners who want to use cutting-edge technologies to alleviate food insecurity will find the paper to be a useful resource. This essay, with its clear and succinct writing style and pertinent examples, makes a strong case for the continued use of AI and machine learning in attempts to end world hunger and create a more sustainable future.
