About the course

Most agricultural organizations aren't struggling to find AI tools. They're struggling to make those tools actually work. Led by Dan Maycock — co-founder and CTO of Dataplai, visiting researcher at NC State University, and member of the FCC's Precision Ag Connectivity Task Force — this three-part series covers the full arc of practical AI adoption: from implementation basics to real-world case studies across the ag supply chain. Complete all three sessions and take the quiz to earn a certificate of completion in AI at Work in Agriculture, shareable on LinkedIn and with your organization.

Session 1 — Beyond the Basics: Putting AI to Real Work

What it takes to move past simple Q&A and build AI-powered solutions that deliver real operational value — covering data maturity, common implementation challenges, and how to think about AI use cases.

Session 2 — Addressing Key Concerns with AI

A direct look at data protection, information ownership, cost management, and how to distinguish science projects from ROI-driven solutions.

Session 3 — Case Studies in AI

Real-world AI deployments across agribusiness — who's doing what, which commodity areas are gaining traction, and how organizations measure value.
