A new artificial intelligence (AI) tool available for free in a smartphone app can predict near-term crop productivity for farmers in Africa and may help them protect their staple crops—such as maize, cassava and beans—in the face of climate warming, according to Penn State researchers. The team will unveil the new tool—which will work with their existing AI assistant, called “PlantVillage Nuru”—to coincide with the United Nations Climate Action Summit to be held today (Sept. 23) at the U.N. Headquarters in New York City.
