The information displayed in the AIM should not be reported as representing the official views of the OECD or of its member countries.

The Gyeonggi-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services implemented AI-based systems for pig farming, including weight measurement and sow health monitoring. These systems reduced birthing accidents and increased both productivity and farmer income, demonstrating AI's positive impact on livestock management in South Korea's Gyeonggi Province.[AI generated]

Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?

The AI systems described are explicitly used in livestock management, involving AI-based weight measurement and health monitoring. The use of AI has directly led to reduced harm (fewer sow accidents and piglet deaths) and increased economic benefits for farmers. Since the AI system's use has directly led to realized benefits and reduction of harm, this qualifies as an AI Incident under the framework, as it involves harm reduction and improved health outcomes through AI use.[AI generated]
