Artificial intelligence is fundamentally transforming agriculture, food, and environmental sciences, disciplines at the heart of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (AGNR). This course introduces students to the core concepts and practical realities of AI within these fields. Through a blend of theory, case studies, and expert seminars, students will examine how AI models (from Large Language Models to computer vision) function. Students will critically evaluate real-world applications, such as precision farming, environmental impact modeling, and veterinary diagnostics. The course will challenge the students to consider both the benefits and drawbacks of this rapidly expanding set of technological tools. By the end of the course, students will possess the foundational literacy to navigate the AI landscape and make informed decisions about integrating these tools into their education and future careers.
