This is where AI will clearly take jobs.

This really does show how important AI is and how it will affect workers skilled and unskilled

A quote
"Companies say automation doesn’t necessarily mean a big reduction in head count; instead, they can reassign workers to other roles such as inspection "
bullocks!

Agreed, and I'm interested to see Cargill's name mentioned – another acronym, but the ABCD companies (Archer Daniels Midland, Bunge, Cargill and Louis Dreyfus) are very powerful, and apparently control a good deal of the world trade in commodities like grain, sugar, fertilisers etc.

Cargill and Dreyfus are privately owned, but ADM and Bunge are listed: from time to time I have a look at them but then back off, as their share prices often appear to be correlated to the prices of the commodities, and that's a world I know very little about.

Meantime I guess the news item is an example of "agritech", and I read a different piece recently about either John Deere or AGCO (the US tractor manufacturers) buying a geolocation company so that their tractors could be controlled automatically, and basically plough and seed by themselves. Interesting times.

As so often, they are confusing automation and machine learning and AI.

Chicken deboning is automation. I see no component of AI in it, other than attracting investment from the gullible.


By coincidence I worked on a deboning system about 20 years ago. On the x-ray component that had to identify the bones ready for the water knives. It was a failure. It sort of worked but wastage was too high and the line stopped every few minutes.

(OK, this is only funny if you know this meme's usual last frame ).
