It was a joy to join the Food Security AI Collaborative meeting and to talk about benchmarks for the AI we want! I met so many brilliant people doing critical work at the intersections of climate, agriculture, genetics, and more. I truly think that #FoodSecurity is full of opportunities for #AIforScience!
HUGE thank you to Rada Dogandjieva, Lina Dieudonné, Michael Tsan, and to the whole Dalberg team for including me as well as our incredible Google.org hosts.
Thanks also to Jona Repishti for teaching me about why farmer advisory is for FARMERS, to Alejandro Daly, Paul Amayo, Sarah Hylden, Byron Sanborn, Michelle Leonard, & Neil Hausmann (and others!) for nerding out with me about benchmarks and the data we need, to Rafael Swit, Philipp Zimmer, & Kriti Garg for challenging me to think more critically about political challenges, to Jawoo Koo & JP Mani Tripathi for their leadership in our breakouts on MCP and farmer advisory, and to Melissa D. Ho & Senka Filipovic for being my ever-so-gracious paparazzi (seriously THANK YOU)
SO excited for what we can do together! 🚀✨
