The crop science community in China has warmly embraced its inaugural 'AI colleague'—the 'Fengdeng·Genetic Scientist.' This intelligent agent, a collaborative effort among the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Yazhou Bay National Laboratory, China Agricultural University, and other prestigious institutions, has been making waves since its introduction this summer. Our reporters have recently uncovered that this research-oriented intelligent agent, built on a large-scale model, is set for a worldwide release next year.

The 'Fengdeng·Genetic Scientist' boasts an impressive array of capabilities. It can precisely address inquiries within the realm of breeding, while also emulating the cognitive processes of seasoned breeding experts. This includes crafting scientific hypotheses, devising independent experimental designs, and meticulously analyzing result data. To date, it has aided researchers in uncovering numerous previously undocumented crop gene functions, all of which have undergone rigorous experimental verification.
