The study of the risks of implementing artificial intelligence technologies and robotics in agriculture

The implementation of artificial intelligence technologies and robotics in agriculture is taking place in rapidly changing and ever-increasing risks that are not well studied. The study aims to assess the risks of implementing artificial intelligence technologies and robotics in agriculture according to the degree of validity. As research methods, a survey of agricultural experts was used (by the example of the Sverdlovsk region). Reasonable risks include the lack of own financial resources for the implementation of artificial intelligence and robotics technologies (4.5 points), difficulties in hiring workers capable of mastering these technologies (4.3 points), increasing dependence on foreign suppliers of equipment, components, software under sanctions (4.2 points), insufficient level of state support (3.8 points). Unreasonable risks include insufficient development of infrastructure (3.4), resistance of workers to the implementation of these technologies (2.9 points), a possible fall in incomes of the rural population under the conditions of mass unemployment when these technologies are implemented (2.4 points). The results of the study will make it possible to develop adequate public policy measures to reduce emerging risks.
