Plants can "communicate" using electricity, so a startup created an AI model to decipher their language: Scientists have found a way to understand plants. "The electric plant startup is developing a system that helps understand the state of plants based on their electrical signals. The idea came to co-founder Justin Mast after researching a "cyborg plant" that moved towards the light by itself - sensors read signals inside the plant and controlled a motorized stand. Together with the neuroscientist von Krauss, he created a model that can already interpret 125 signals to plants from plants. The company wants to bring to the market low-cost sensors that connect to the trunk or trunk and transmit data to the cloud. According to the entrepreneurs, such a system can tell farmers when the plants need water, light or fertilizers, increase yields and reduce water consumption by 20% or more. The creators say that for now they are "listening" to the plants and not "talking" to them, but see this as a first step towards a new tool for agriculture, forestry and also for "talking" with plants.
