Those that don\u2019t risk falling behind companies that are already investing heavily in agricultural AI.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Leadership Responsibility<\/strong>: AI adoption should be a top priority led by CEOs and board members, rather than being delegated to IT departments. It is viewed as a strategic reset for the agricultural sector.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Immediate Actions<\/strong>: Connolly recommends executives start by investing in language models like ChatGPT, cleaning up data infrastructures, and involving company representatives in the adoption process.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Workforce Transformation<\/strong>: The nature of jobs in the poultry industry will shift from manual roles to positions requiring AI expertise, transitioning workers to roles like digital farm managers and AI-savvy nutritionists.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Current AI Innovations<\/strong>: Several AI-powered solutions are already being used in poultry farming, including computer vision systems, robotic bird transportation, and behavioral tracking.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Competitive Necessity<\/strong>: Failing to adopt AI will lead to a loss in competitive edge as the remaining viable operations in food production are those that adopt technology swiftly, as seen in agricultural transformations in Ireland.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Adaptation and Moral Obligation<\/strong>: There is a moral obligation to provide employment, but Connolly emphasizes that refusing to adapt to AI technology due to apprehensions is not a sustainable option if competitors are adopting quickly.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Healthcare Sector as a Model<\/strong>: The healthcare sector\u2019s use of robots for tasks like sample transport and surgical assistance shows that AI is not replacing human jobs but transforming them, suggesting a similar future in the poultry industry.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US poultry industry encouraged not to delay AI adoption https:\/\/www.wattagnet.com\/poultry-future\/new-technologies\/article\/15815800\/us-poultry-industry-encouraged-not-to-delay-ai-adoption Publish Date: 2026-01-28 13:55:00 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":182407,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/img.wattagnet.com\/mindful\/watt\/workspaces\/default\/uploads\/2026\/01\/poultry-artificial-intelligence.n3tyjnhh9v.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&fit=max&q=70&w=1200","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-182406","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182406"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=182406"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182406\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":182408,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182406\/revisions\/182408"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/182407"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=182406"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=182406"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=182406"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
