Developers of artificial intelligence are working to ensure that robots are helping farmers around the world. The Dutch company Connecterra, whose director is a former employee of Microsoft Yasir Gohar, offers farmers their "intellectual assistant to a dairy farmer", agronews.ua reported.

Technological breakthrough will now affect agriculture. Engineers involved in the development of artificial intelligence are working to prepare assistants for farmers.

Thus, the Dutch company Connecterra has developed its "intellectual assistant to a dairy farmer". Developers tested it in Europe and are now ready to enter the market in the US.

"Intellectual Assistant" is attached to the neck of the cow and using a computer helps the owner to track not only the location of the cow, but also its general condition. This will help farmers to monitor the health and productivity of animals.

The owner of the farm Seven Oaks Dairy in Waynesboro, Georgia boasted on having this product in video. The farmer claims that the "intellectual assistant" is a very valuable employee, since it is difficult for him to keep track of two thousand goals. He also noted that artificial intelligence helped raise his profit by 10%.

Yasir Gohar, a former Microsoft employee and CEO of Connecterra, said that artificial intelligence will become a revolution in the farming industry, however, people will also play an important role in the process.
