AI⁣ Plant Doctor Aims to revolutionize Garden Care in Gyeonggi Province

SUWON, SOUTH KOREA – November 15,⁣ 2023,⁢ 09:16:14 KST – Gardeners in ⁣Gyeonggi Province may ⁢soon have a new ​ally in keeping their plants healthy: artificial intelligence. The Urban and Rural Growth ⁣Institute is evaluating a⁣ new AI-powered diagnostic system designed to provide instant, 24-hour plant health ‌assessments, potentially transforming how plant diseases and issues are addressed.

The system leverages AI trained with expert botanical knowledge to offer non-face-to-face consultations, bridging the gap in access​ to specialist advice. Currently, a plant⁢ diagnosis can take up to three days when relying on manual expert review. Officials ​anticipate the AI will dramatically reduce this timeframe, delivering answers in as little as 10 seconds – and no more than‌ one minute – potentially saving countless ‍plants from preventable ​loss.

According to an official from the Urban⁣ and Rural Development ⁢Institute, the initiative aims to “grow it into an industry,” recognizing the potential‍ for widespread impact and economic chance.⁤ The faster diagnostic capabilities are expected to significantly reduce plant mortality ⁢rates among home gardeners and potentially in agricultural settings. the Institute is currently finalizing‍ the implementation plan for the new technology.

Kim Ho-joong, the singer, publicly expressed a desire‌ for⁣ “humility of life” following his⁣ sentencing for charges related to a drunk driving incident. He shared his reflections, stating, “I was ‍walking on the path ⁤of repentance, reflection, adn commitment in pain. I showed my will ⁢to bloom in the dark.⁤ I want to get warm without turning away.”

The statement comes after Kim received a two-year‍ and six-month prison‍ sentence on October⁣ 3, ‍2024, for accusations of‌ driving under the influence in Gangnam, Seoul, colliding with ​another vehicle, fleeing the scene, and attempting to‌ falsely identify the driver. The ⁤incident and ⁢subsequent legal proceedings have⁢ substantially impacted his career and public⁣ image. He also expressed a wish ‌for “laughter and peace” for those celebrating Chuseok ‌and mentioned his desire to listen to Cavalleria⁢ Rusticana or pieces recommended ⁢by Song Young-gil while driving home.

song Young-gil, ⁤referred to as a “distributor” in connection with the case, is not directly implicated in the criminal⁣ charges‌ against Kim.⁤ The sentencing marks a turning point for the singer, who now faces a period of⁣ incarceration and a⁣ path toward rehabilitation. ⁤the ⁤case highlights the severe consequences of drunk⁢ driving and ‍the‍ legal ramifications of attempting to obstruct ‌justice in South Korea.
