Grown by AI Design

Practical perspectives on AI from the field — exploring how ideas are shaped to drive innovation for better decision-making in food, land and water system.

ABOUT CGIAR AI Hub

About the series

CGIAR AI Hub's webinar series, "Grown by AI design", brings together practical perspectives on how AI is leveraged in real-world agricultural contexts from idea to proof of concept (POC) to minimum viable product (MVP) all the way to a market ready AI innovation in the hands of farmers, policy makers and researchers.

This webinar series is intended for researchers, product managers, and AI builders from and outside CGIAR who already know the problems exist and want honest practitioner perspectives, not polished demos.

Each session will focus on one product of CGIAR AI Hub, one real case, one design lesson.

About the CGIAR AI Hub:

CGIAR AI Hub is a global collaborative workplace hosted in Abu Dhabi. It leverages 50 years of agricultural expertise and data from CGIAR 13 research Centers and its partner networks worldwide to accelerate digital transformation. The Hub works closely with CGIAR scientists, its Digital Transformation Accelerator, and AI partners to transform research into digital products that support decision.

Schedule

Phase 1

9 June 2026

Science-led, user-shaped: Designing AI for Water for real decisions

Series launch. Introduces the AI Hub's product philosophy — human-centred, field-tested, decision-driven - and uses the example of AI for Water to illustrate the case.

Featuring:
- Shatha Alaydaroos, Project Study & Development Specialist, UAE Presidential Court
- Mariangel Garcia Andarcia, Research Group Leader - Water Futures Data & Analytics, IWMI.

Phase 1

14 June 2026

How do we make data actually usable for decision-making? — Genebanks AI

Clean data is not the same as useful data. What does it take to turn research data into something people can query, trust and act on? Deep dive into Genebanks AI: how 700k+ accessions are becoming AI-queryable, and the human-centred design behind it.

Phase 2

8 September 2026

How do we decide what is worth building? — AgriLLM

A pilot that works is not yet a product. The decisions that determine whether an AI idea survives contact with real users. What it takes to build an LLM for agriculture: understanding crops, soil, climate variability, and local context, beyond generic AI models.

Phase 2

13 October 2026

How do we put AI in the hands of farmers? - Policy AI

Low connectivity, mixed literacy, high stakes. Designing AI that works in the field, not just the lab.

Phase 3

10 November 2026

How do we move from a working pilot to something people actually use? — Livestock AI

Scaling is a design problem. What it takes to move an AI product from pilot to sustained adoption.

Phase 3

8 December 2026

Can AI change how policy decisions get made?

The hardest design problem — helping policymakers act on complex evidence without AI overriding their judgement.
