Imagine a world where a farmer's smart phone predicts the perfect day to harvest. Or a governor can dial up exactly how to enhance food security prior to a hurricane. It would take seamless access to a highly technical artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, but Ohio State's Dhabaleswar K. (DK) Panda is working to get us there. "If you look at AI, it's become very important but it is limited to only advanced technical people," said Panda, professor of computer science and engineering at Ohio State. "How do we take it to the masses? We want to create a plug-and-play AI that will be democratized so anybody can use it."
