About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm excited to have Dr. Jane Smith with us, an expert in AI and indoor hydroponic systems. She's here to talk about a fascinating course she's involved in, the Graduate Certificate in AI Development for Indoor Hydroponic Systems. Welcome, Jane! GUEST: Thanks for having me! I'm looking forward to discussing this exciting new course. HOST: Could you share a bit about your personal experiences and insights related to this course topic? GUEST: Absolutely! I've spent over a decade working in AI and hydroponics, and I've seen firsthand how powerful these technologies can be when combined. This course offers a unique opportunity to learn these skills and apply them in real-world situations. HOST: That's fantastic. And what current industry trends do you think are most relevant to this course? GUEST: There are two main trends. First, the demand for locally grown, sustainable produce is skyrocketing. Second, AI and automation technologies are becoming more accessible and affordable. This course bridges the gap between these two trends, empowering learners to create AI-powered hydroponic systems that can meet the growing demand for fresh, locally grown produce. HOST: What challenges have you faced in this field or while teaching this subject? GUEST: One of the biggest challenges is keeping up with the rapid pace of technological change. AI and hydroponic technologies are constantly evolving, so it's essential to stay current and adapt the course curriculum accordingly. HOST: That must keep you on your toes! Looking to the future, where do you see this area or industry heading? GUEST: I believe AI-powered indoor hydroponic systems will play a crucial role in feeding the world's growing population. By producing fresh, nutritious food in urban environments, we can reduce food waste, conserve natural resources, and create more sustainable food systems. HOST: Dr. Smith, thank you so much for sharing your insights and giving us a glimpse into this cutting-edge course. It's been a pleasure having you on the show! GUEST: Thank you for having me! It's been a pleasure discussing this exciting topic with you.
