Early detection and treatment of plant leaf diseases are essential to promote healthy plant growth in agriculture and ensure sufficient supply and health security for the world’s geometric (population) growth. Detection of plant leaf diseases using computer-aided technologies is widespread today. In the first part of this thesis, we describe an artificial intelligence (AI) model that enables image analysis to facilitate disease detection and then present its contribution at the societal level. We used images of maize leaves and images of apples in fields from the standard PlantVillage repository for object localization. An efficient deep learning (DL) modified mask region convolutional neural network (Mask R-CNN) is proposed for autonomous segmentation and detection of the object to be analyzed in this research. The proposed work exploited the features learned by the Mask R-CNN model at various processing hierarchies. We achieved improved code generation of singular images of the detected objects and an overall accuracy of 98.89% on the validation sets. In the rest of our research, we wanted to show the impact of our solution at a social level while highlighting the important aspects that characterize good development. The specificity of this approach is to present the different AI solutions used for the analysis of agricultural crops, with the aim of highlighting their benefits and their impact on human activities.","PeriodicalId":55016,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Technology and Society Magazine","volume":"43 3","pages":"65-71"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142376981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A population of this size confronts several challenges, the most significant being the requirement for expanded global food production to meet nutritional demands. Due to the inefficient use of natural resources that overburdens the ecosystem, traditional agricultural practices are thought to be unable to meet these demands \u0000<xref>[2]</xref>\u0000. We are, thus, forced to adopt more ecologically friendly agricultural methods. By lowering the need for external inputs and assisting farmers in coping with unfavorable weather, which is becoming more frequent due to climate change, smart farming technologies (SFTs) can increase crop output in a sustainable manner, enhancing its resilience and lowering carbon dioxide emissions. The United States had a \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$91 %$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 acceptance rate for SFT as of 2020 \u0000<xref>[3]</xref>\u0000, with Canada, Australia, and other European nations lagging behind as the most adopting nations.

If you missed the first installment of this series, please check out the March 2024 issue of the magazine \u0000<xref>[1]</xref>\u0000. In this first piece, we talked about how our associate editors contribute to broader academic research and societal good through their work on technology and societal issues. Here we will discuss their contributions to civil society, scholarship, and service to the magazine. Academic editing seems pretty distant from pressing social concerns. However, we submit that the work of the magazine, and our parent society, the IEEE Society for the Social Implications of Technology, is vital to identifying and promoting workable solutions for our most critical social challenges. The interdisciplinary approaches that we highlight, and the interdisciplinary board that we introduce here, use a critical lens to evaluate technological and social solutions. We take a little space here to introduce you to more of the hard-working people who make this magazine work.","PeriodicalId":55016,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Technology and Society Magazine","volume":"43 2","pages":"16-19"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10568246","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141444717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is not merely a product of technology itself but is deeply rooted in the bio-psycho-social dynamics of our historical context. Humans have a natural tendency to focus on problems, often exhibiting a negativity bias that is exacerbated by the relentless pace and stressors of modern life and the pervasive exposure to stress-inducing media. While Antonio Gramsci’s notion of cultural hegemony \u0000<xref>[1]</xref>\u0000 illuminates how dominant societal forces can shape our perceptions and values, the prevalence of dystopian views about technology also reflects broader societal concerns. These range from genuine fears about privacy and autonomy to anxieties about technology’s role in widening social inequalities. Such dynamics do not merely reinforce fear and anxiety but also create a fertile ground for “dark mirrors”—narratives in our cultural imagination that reflect our deepest fears and foster cycles of pessimism about the role of technology in our future.","PeriodicalId":55016,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Technology and Society Magazine","volume":"43 2","pages":"54-58"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10568172","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141444728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
