Insect Farming  ·  Robotics & AI

Trustworthy AI for Insect Farming+

Food safety and security are among the biggest challenges for the near future. The efforts to find new food sources and innovate the agricultural sector are more crucial than ever. However, the use of AI & robotics for the performance of tasks in farms, such as identifying and sorting insects for food and animal feed, calls for careful considerations regarding the legal, ethical and societal challenges involved in the automation of insect farms. Let’s discuss the potential implications of the use of AI & robotics in insect farms in the area of health and safety, data protection and human autonomy, and highlight how the CoRoSect project addresses them.

An effective way to tackle the legal, ethical and societal issues involved in the use of AI & robotics in insect farms is to identify the potential impacts of the technology on individuals, animals and society, and to implement any relevant organisational solutions early on in the process. For this reason, CoRoSect integrates the concept known as “by-design” to incorporate legal and ethical values to the technology throughout a system’s lifecycle—from research and development phases to its use.
