Overview

Examines how AI and robotics reshape human-weed relations, highlighting ethical implications and biopolitical norms.

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore the emerging biopolitical norms in human-weed relations due to AI and robotic interventions in agriculture.
  • Literature review on AI and robotic weed technologies
  • Analysis of social and ethical impacts of agricultural AI
  • Discussion on biopolitical implications for weeds and plant life.
  • AI and robotics create new biopolitical norms framing weeds as 'bare life'.
  • Technologies support the indiscriminate eradication of uncommodifiable plant life.
  • A proposition for affirmative biopolitics is made to recognize weeds as vital beings.
