Like in manufacturing and services, an emerging tide of data-based disruption functioning on a new layer of knowledge activities enabled through AI technologies is also transforming agriculture. The future of food is unequivocally digital, and the future of digital is inevitably AI. But how this innovation tide will be applied and made to work for the benefit of all actors, including small land-holders, women farmers, etc., remains a question and challenge for policy. This paper examines the current initiatives in AI in Indian agriculture––both private and state-led––and attempt to assess their potential for furthering development.
