A machine that recognises and removes weeds, a robot that cuts and picks ripe fruit with arm grippers or a greenhouse that autonomously controls the climate. This is all in a day’s work for WUR researchers Bram Veldhuisen and Anja Dieleman, who are involved in the development and implementation of these smart AI technologies. This makes the agricultural and horticultural sectors more sustainable, improves their yields and makes them less labour-intensive. We asked them about promising solutions, the hurdles to overcome and the potential risks. Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers solutions for agriculture and horticulture in several areas, says Bram Veldhuisen,…

Google’s experimental AI-powered image remixing tool, Whisk, is now available in over 100 countries, including the Philippines. Initially launched in the United States in December 2024, Whisk offers a fun and accessible way for users to generate AI-powered images without requiring prior AI knowledge or expertise in text-based prompting. Unlike traditional AI image generators that rely on long and detailed text prompts, Whisk simplifies the process by allowing users to drag and drop images instead. Users upload three images—one for the subject, one for the scene, and one for the style—and Whisk merges elements from these inputs to produce unique digital…
