**China Deploys AI-Powered Laser Machines to Fight Weeds** **Without Damaging Crops
**
China has begun deploying AI-powered laser weed-control machines that use cameras and artificial intelligence to _distinguish crops_ from unwanted plants before targeting weeds with precision lasers.

 The technology can reduce reliance on chemical herbicides. One Chinese system has also been shipped to Australia, where laser-based weed control is already being adopted.
