Baku: A scientific seminar titled "AI-Based Assessment of Farmland Suitability and Productivity Using Satellite Data" was held at the Faculty of Information and Computer Technologies of Baku Engineering University (BEU). Faculty Dean Vagif Gasimov highlighted the significance of the seminar, noting that the topic represents one of the most relevant areas of integration between information technologies and agriculture in the modern era. He emphasized that the event demonstrates the opportunities artificial intelligence creates for the real sector and opens new perspectives for scientific discussions, research, and future collaborations.

According to Azerbaijan State News Agency, during the seminar, Ertugrul Gayibov, lecturer at BEU's Department of Information Technologies and Programming, delivered a comprehensive presentation. He discussed satellite monitoring of farmlands in Garabagh and the Kur-Araz lowland, and methods for assessing agricultural areas using artificial intelligence. Gayibov stressed the importance of precise mapping for food security and sustainable resource management, highlighting AI and satellite technologies as major advantages given that traditional field measurements are costly and labor-intensive.

The seminar also covered the application of a zero-shot AI model to Garabagh satellite images, with relevant findings shared with participants. The event concluded with a Q and A session and extensive discussions on the topic.
