INTUITIVE SYSTEM CAN GENERATE EXPERT INFORMATION WITHIN SECONDS
BAYER is piloting an expert GenAI system to benefit growers and agronomists.
The company has been using proprietary agronomic data to train a large language model (LLM) with years of internal data, insights from thousands of trials within its testing network, and experience from Bayer agronomists around the world.
The intuitive system responds to natural language and can generate expert information within seconds. Validated by agronomists, the pilot is already unlocking productivity for Bayer teams in the United States.
Developed in collaboration with Microsoft as leading technology partner and Ernst & Young (EY) as an industry partner, Bayer is exploring ways to integrate the GenAI system into its digital offerings, and the company anticipates broad opportunities for collaboration with other agricultural offerings and partners.
Designed as a global capability, Bayer says the tool will benefit millions of smallholder farmers in the future by giving easy access to agronomic advice and product information.
Amanda McClerren, CIO and Head of Digital Transformation & Information Technology for Bayer’s Crop Science Division, said: “We’ll continue to use traditional AI to develop better products, and we’re also committed to harnessing new GenAI technology in a thoughtful way that augments and supports knowledgeable experts across the industry.”
