人工智能(AI)代表了具有类似人类认知能力的学习、执行和决策的技术。精准农业(PA)中的人工智能使农民和农场管理者能够根据现场特定的农业气候田间测量结果部署高度有针对性的精确耕作实践。在过去的30年里，人工智能的基础和应用发展已经相当成熟。现在是时候认真参与人工智能的道德和负责任的实践，为农民和农场管理者的福祉服务。在本文中，我们确定并讨论了提高农民对为PA提供人工智能解决方案的农民的信任的挑战和机遇。我们强调，农民的信任可以通过如何感知、分享和分配人工智能的好处和风险来调节。在此基础上，提出了提高农民信任度的四点建议。首先，AI开发人员应该提高模型的透明度和可解释性。第二，应该明确人工智能决策的责任和问责。第三，需要克服对人工智能公平性的担忧，以改善农业中的人机合作伙伴关系。最后，如果人工智能系统要被农民接受和使用，就需要对数据所有权、隐私和安全进行监管和自愿遵守。
Artificial intelligence (AI) represents technologies with human‐like cognitive abilities to learn, perform, and make decisions. AI in precision agriculture (PA) enables farmers and farm managers to deploy highly targeted and precise farming practices based on site‐specific agroclimatic field measurements. The foundational and applied development of AI has matured considerably over the last 30 years. The time is now right to engage seriously with the ethics and responsible practice of AI for the well‐being of farmers and farm managers. In this paper, we identify and discuss both challenges and opportunities for improving farmers’ trust in those providing AI solutions for PA. We highlight that farmers’ trust can be moderated by how the benefits and risks of AI are perceived, shared, and distributed. We propose four recommendations for improving farmers’ trust. First, AI developers should improve model transparency and explainability. Second, clear responsibility and accountability should be assigned to AI decisions. Third, concerns about the fairness of AI need to be overcome to improve human‐machine partnerships in agriculture. Finally, regulation and voluntary compliance of data ownership, privacy, and security are needed, if AI systems are to become accepted and used by farmers.
