The company is using AI to develop the technology that is based on gene editing. OlsAro’s objective is to develop crops suitable for cultivation in soils previously considered unsuitable or degraded by climate change. The company uses a large genetic database and data collected from the field for its gene-editing based method, but the development process is also assisted by AI – machine learning to identify mutations that lead to higher salt tolerance and to select them for later gene editing. //
