AI for Agriculture: Google DeepMind and ICRISAT Partner on Open-Access Plant Genome Atlas
By TechShots Studio
Google DeepMind has partnered with India-based ICRISAT to build an open-access AI plant genome atlas, starting with sorghum. By mapping genetic traits, the collaboration aims to help researchers fast-track the development of climate-resilient, high-yield crop varieties. Google DeepMind is also funding a three-year postdoctoral fellowship at ICRISAT—its first in India—to extend the AI genomic mapping tools to pulses like chickpeas and pigeon peas.
