SBI PO Descriptive Paper- Sample Questions

PRECIS WRITING
Write a precis on the following information and provide a suitable title on it.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing agriculture by introducing innovative solutions to enhance
productivity, efficiency, and sustainability. AI-driven technologies, such as precision farming, analyze
vast data sets, including weather patterns, soil conditions, and crop health, enabling farmers to make
informed decisions.
Drones equipped with AI conduct aerial surveys, offering real-time insights into crop health and
resource utilization. Automated irrigation systems optimize water usage, reducing waste and
conserving resources. AI-powered machinery simplifies labor-intensive tasks, lowering costs and
improving operational efficiency.
While the benefits are significant, the adoption of AI in agriculture faces hurdles such as high costs and
the need for technical expertise. However, its potential to address global challenges like food security
and climate change is undeniable. By integrating AI, agriculture is not only becoming more efficient but
also paving the way for sustainable practices, ensuring a prosperous future for farming.
