Gelonghui, July 4 | According to IT Home, Google's parent company Alphabet today shut down its agricultural AI technology company Mineral. According to reports, Mineral was incubated by X Labs, which created projects such as Waymo, and became an independent subsidiary of Alphabet in early 2023. The company aims to analyze agricultural data through AI and robotics, achieve precise and clear field management, sustainably increase food production, and cope with the food supply crisis caused by climate change. Mineral has developed a “field buggy” that can take high-resolution crop photos. However, Mineral has always faced profit problems, and its industry is fiercely competitive and marginal, making it difficult to find a suitable business model. After Mineral is shut down, Alphabet will provide relevant technical licenses to partners such as Driscoll's to continue to help achieve sustainable agricultural development goals.
