Italian Wine Podcast

Welcome to Episode 2347 of the Italian Wine Podcast and Everybody Needs a Bit of Scienza, where Professor Scienza takes questions from the international wine community and answers them in his own inimitable way! These episodes are generally in Italian. Today’s question comes from Giorgia Rangoni. Today’s question(s):  AI and machine learning are being increasingly applied in viticulture, from analyzing satellite imagery for vineyard health to optimizing irrigation and disease prevention. How do you see these technologies evolving in the genetic improvement of grapevines? Could AI accelerate crossbreeding programs or even predict ideal genetic traits for future climate conditions? L’intelligenza artificiale e il machine learning vengono applicati sempre più spesso alla viticoltura, dall’analisi delle immagini satellitari per monitorare la salute dei vigneti all’ottimizzazione dell’irrigazione e della prevenzione delle malattie. Come vedi l’evoluzione di queste tecnologie nel miglioramento gene
