The AI Governance Framework Evaluation service empowers agricultural businesses to leverage AI responsibly. It addresses the unique challenges and opportunities within the sector, from precision farming and livestock management to supply chain optimisation. This service starts with a use-case assessment that highlights similar AI initiatives and identifies potential ethical gaps. Following that, a tailored AI ethics framework is developed, aligned with organisational values and industry best practices, encompassing data privacy, algorithmic fairness, and transparency. A comprehensive impact assessment of AI systems is conducted, identifying potential biases and risks related to environmental impact, labour practices, and food security. Mitigation strategies, including technical solutions and governance processes, are developed to address these risks. Ongoing support and monitoring ensure AI remains ethically sound and compliant with regulations such as the GDPR, the AI Act, the Machinery Regulation, the Data Governance Act (and the Open Data Directive), and others, fostering trust with farmers, consumers, and the broader community. The service does not provide legal advice, but it evaluates the organisation’s ethics and legal readiness and provides recommendations for further steps when needed.

This service concerns training AI models on behalf of the customer for a specific task and optimisation objective, e.g., improving accuracy on crop classification from image data.

The target model is the solution provided by the customer that needs to be enhanced with respect to a set of predetermined features to reach the desired performance level. However, if required, the training can also be applied to additional state-of-the-art models available in the market for benchmarking purposes.

If not defined by the customer, some features of the training process can be identified via service S00179 (desk assessment activities for digital systems and/or data): for instance, model features to improve, reference model baselines to include in the performance comparison, as well as benchmark datasets.

The data used for training the model can be either provided by the customer or annotated ad hoc as a preparatory activity to model training (via service S00290 – Data labelling); another possibility is that data are retrieved among reference benchmark datasets that are openly available. We will also agree with customers on the level of hardware acceleration required, based on the considered AI models, e.g., GPU acceleration via connection to a remote server vs on-device training.
