ChatGPT and AI: What they mean for small business — intracen — 6 April 2023 (LINK)
— Smart digital technologies are already widely used in agriculture in high–income countries. For instance, AI is being used in robotic milking systems in places such as Braz, Austria, to decide which cow should be milked when, with little supervision from the farmer.

But looking around, we can anticipate future uses, if an appropriate business model can be found.

We need to help our beneficiaries leverage this technology as well, for instance the tailor in Burundi who is using ChatGPT to draft marketing materials like brochures and website content."
