Corteva's Planned Separation and AI
Corteva's upcoming separation has raised questions about the split of AI and data, particularly with its 'One Seed' initiative.
When we think about the history, just by the nature of our company and having such a large seed footprint, seed and genetics is an area where we’ve seen a lot of digitization and use of AI, before other segments, because it’s such a data-intensive activity to create new seeds.
Brian Lutz, VP of digital at Corteva Agriscience, discussed the company's approach to AI deployment before the announcement to split into two entities: New Corteva, an ag chemicals entity, and SpinCo, a seeds business.
The company, formed by the 2017 merger of Dow's and DuPont's agricultural businesses, may better position SpinCo for AI and data split through its 'One Seed' initiative.
