Ep 2347 Giorgia Rangoni | Everybody Needs A Bit Of Scienza

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 genetico della vite? L’IA potrebbe accelerare i programmi di incrocio o persino prevedere i tratti genetici ideali per le condizioni climatiche future? More about Professor Scienza: Professor Attilio Scienza is the one who checks all the facts and regulates when we mistakenly type “Verdicchio” instead of “Vermentino.” He is a full professor at the University of Milan in the Department of Agricultural and Food Sciences where he teaches courses on genetic improvements to the vine; he also teaches Viticulture in the Master’s program of the University of Turin in Asti.  He has been the lead for many national research projects in the field of physiology, agricultural techniques, and vine genetics. As the author of over 350 publications on vine and viticulture in national and international journals, you can bet he knows his stuff!
