Artificial intelligence (AI) is being used more frequently to create stronger strains of cannabis in a bid to find the most effective medical marijuana.

An article in the United Kingdom’s Daily Star highlights how cultivators are utilizing AI to monitor conditions like plant temperature and to prevent crop failure – with some of the processes almost entirely automated.

Stephen Murphy, Co-Founder & Managing Director at Prohibition Partners, believes the approach could revolutionize the industry.

Murphy, whose firm advises cannabis companies and government bodies, told the Daily Star: “The industry is at the forefront of developing personalized medicines and being able to engineer those medicines based on the individual’s health history and how they’re reacting to different formulations.”
