Based on cases from the invested companies, Paulo Ciampolini, co-founder of Baraúna Investimentos, Business Ally of Osher Investimentos, explains how the Research & Development (R&D) process can be accelerated by emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI). In this context, he discusses how large organizations can enhance their capacity to innovate in processes and products.

In one of the investments in the agribusiness sector, images captured via drones in the fields, along with the use of AI, recommend more suitable management. Algorithms are used to identify areas with the highest number of weeds and to apply herbicides more efficiently.

In another invested company, the use of images and AI allows for the quick identification of fire hotspots in crops and forests, reducing response time for fire brigades. Especially in the Pantanal, a region where 2 million hectares are constantly monitored, minimizing damage to nature.
