Question

[PASSAGE] India is starting to deploy AI for critical use cases such as weather forecasting, pest detection and control, and crop yield optimisation. However, penetration is limited to a small subset of tech-savvy farmers. In the US and in Europe, generative AI tools have started offering precision farming at scale, integrating large datasets to provide real-time agronomic insights. For at-scale integration and accessibility of AI tools in India, it would be helpful to develop Indian languages-based AI tools for smallholder farmers, partner with AgTechs to create affordable AI solutions, and disseminate AI-based advisory services through government programmes.

[QUESTION] Which of the following statements is/are not correct?

1Tech-savvy farmers will drive the AgTech companies of the future.

2The development of advisory services by the government programmes for the use of AI tools in agriculture would be helpful.

3In the US and Europe, AI tools have replaced traditional agricultural practices.

4The integration of large datasets for use in real-time agronomic analysis is already a reality.

Options

1 and 3 only

Answer

1, 3 and 4

2 and 4

3 only

Explanation

The question asks for statements that are not correct based on the text.

Statement 1 is incorrect: The text states that current penetration is limited to tech-savvy farmers, but it does not claim they will manage or drive future AgTech corporations.

Statement 2 is correct: This matches the text's recommendation to distribute services through government programs.

Statement 3 is incorrect: The text mentions that Western countries use generative tools for precision farming, but it does not state that traditional farming practices have been completely replaced.

Statement 4 is correct: This matches the text's observation that large datasets are being integrated to provide real-time insights.

Since statements 1 and 3 are incorrect based on the text, option (a) is the required choice.

Descriptive statements that present speculative claims or complete structural replacements not found in the text must be classified as incorrect.
