Precision AI Mitacs – Kathryn Aldridge

The agronomy intern will be an important member of our growing agronomy AI team. Precision AI now needs more agronomy expertise to achieve our growth objectives. The intern will help us accelerate our artificial intelligence model development by applying his/her expertise to more quickly identify crop and weed plants in the images we have collected. They will also be able to accelerate our AI performance testing. The intern would support our AI team with the work of annotating plant images for machine learning.

This work will support the creation and commercialization of Precision AI’s proprietary technology and IP. It will contribute to improving the speed and accuracy of the processes. This work will also contribute to the work that we are planning to launch in the United States.

In the short term, this work will help reduce the input costs of farmers. In the longer term, the project will contribute to the reduction of chemicals in the environment and food supply.
