  • Enhancing Crop Weeding Efficiency through Bioengineering and AI Integration: Study

    Scientists are proposing groundbreaking strategies to revolutionize crop management through bioengineering and artificial intelligence (AI). The objective is clear: to facilitate weeding by genetically modifying crops to be visually distinct from weeds, thus enabling precision weed control without resorting to herbicides. To address the challenge of distinguishing newly domesticated crops from their wild counterparts, researchers advocate for introducing specific traits into de novo crops. These traits, expressed through genetic modifications, aim to enhance visual recognition by weeding robots trained using machine learning algorithms.

  • Climate Change to Cause 19% Global Income Reduction by 2050, Finds Study

    A recent study published in the prestigious journal "Nature" reveals alarming projections about the economic impact of climate change. The study was conducted by scientists from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and warns that even if CO2 emissions are dramatically reduced starting today, the global economy is still poised to suffer a substantial income reduction of 19% by 2050 due to the effects of climate change. The damages are estimated to be six times larger than the costs required to mitigate global warming to two degrees Celsius.
