From Field to Model: Adoption, Usability & Farmer Trust

Transforming Agriculture with AI, The IAAI Monthly Dialogue Series

A technically sound AI tool and a tool farmers actually use are not the same thing. This webinar took place on August 27 and asked why so many well-designed tools fail to survive first contact with the field and what it takes to build AI that farmers actually adopt, trust, and return to.

The session featured lightning talks, a structured panel dialogue, and live community engagement on adoption, usability, and trust.

Panelists included:

  • Girmaw Abebe Tadesse — Microsoft AI4Good
  • El Mahdi Aboulmanadel — deepleaf.io
  • Jagabondhu Hazra — IBM
  • Ishtiaque Ahmed — University of Toronto

Moderated by Thule Lenneiye.
