Masterclass on Generative AI for Farmers | AI Impact Summit 2026
This masterclass at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 explores how Generative AI can be designed to deliver reliable, safe, and context-aware advisory support for smallholder farmers.
Led by Sanyam Singh, Senior ML Engineer, at Digital Green, the session draws on real-world learnings from FarmerChat, a GenAI-powered advisory assistant supporting farmers through localized guidance via text, voice, and images.
The masterclass focuses on how Participatory Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) can align agricultural AI systems with on-ground realities. It examines common failure modes of GenAI in agricultural advisory and shares practical lessons on improving safety, actionability, and contextual relevance through structured human feedback.
By the end of the masterclass, participants will:
Understand common failure modes of GenAI in agricultural advisory
Learn how participatory RLHF works in real-world deployments
Gain a practical framework to evaluate AI advisory quality
Take away a simple workflow for embedding expert feedback into AI systems
Explore how these approaches apply to other applied AI use cases
This session is relevant for practitioners, policymakers, and technologists working on applied AI in complex, real-world settings.
