AI and robots in AgriFoodTech
Artificial intelligence is becoming a bigger part of agriculture every year. From equipment that practically drives itself to software that recommends when to spray, fertilize, or plant – the technology promises to help farmers be more efficient and productive. I saw a LOT of AI innovation in the trade show at the recent Commodity Classic.

The government on Wednesday unveiled a new agenda aimed at maximizing the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to boost agricultural productivity and improve the quality of life for farmers across Korea. The initiative, jointly announced by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Ministry of Science and ICT, builds upon the government’s previous smart farm program, which had largely focused on productivity. The new road map broadens the scope to include agricultural distribution and improvement of farmers’ daily lives. The scope of the plan's beneficiaries will also be expanded from a limited group of high-performing farms to farmers nationwide. Under the slogan “AI for easier farming, more stable supply and more vibrant rural communities,” the initiative outlines 13 policy tasks under four key categories. One of the central goals is to raise productivity across a broader range of farms. To achieve this, the government plans to develop and expand smart farm models

When LG announced that it would demo a laundry-folding, chore-doing robot at CES 2026, I was immediately intrigued. For years, I've wandered the Las Vegas Convention Center halls and wondered when someone might create a robot that can tackle the mundane but useful tasks I despise like folding laundry. With CLOiD (pronounced like "Floyd"), LG has proven that this is theoretically possible, but probably not likely to happen any time soon. I went to the company's CES booth to watch its demonstration of CLOiD's abilities, which also include serving food, fetching objects and fitness coaching. During a very carefully choreographed 15-minute presentation, I watched CLOiD grab a carton of milk out of the fridge, put a croissant in an oven, sort and fold some laundry and grab a set of keys off a couch and hand them to the human presenter. Throughout the demonstration, LG showed off how its own appliances can play along with the robot. When it rolled over to
