| Abstract: | The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in agriculture is transforming the sector, addressing critical challenges such as population growth, urbanization, and climate change. While research has been done on the technical and financial advantages of AI in agriculture, little is known about its social consequences, especially as it affects agricultural labourers. The impact of new technology adoption in agriculture on workers' job security and well-being is examined in this study, along with whether they see AI as a challenge to their jobs or a chance for advancement. The study adopts a mixed methodology, starting with a thorough literature analysis. In accordance with the findings, two agricultural experts who operate in AI-integrated contexts participated in semi-structured interviews as part of a qualitative research strategy that included a thorough literature analysis. Major concepts regarding workers' perceptions of AI, including changes in the skills needed, perceived risks, and its impact on job security and well-being, will be identified through a thematic analysis. The study aims to give a deeper understanding of the social aspects of AI adoption in agriculture, particularly its impact on labor dynamics and worker perceptions. The investigation intends to give a brother perspective on the adoption of artificial intelligence in the agricultural field by ensuring that the implementation of these new technologies is socially inclusive and helpful to the agricultural workforce by identifying labourers' concerns. |
