The article examines the role of artificial intelligence in the transformation of agriculture as a key factor in ensuring global food security. Based on the analysis of the international experience of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, as well as the Russian practice of digitalization of the agro-industrial complex, the technological, institutional and social aspects of the introduction of AI solutions in the agricultural sector are considered. Special attention is paid to the evolution of agriculture from Agriculture 1.0 to Agriculture 5.0, the formation of digital ecosystems and the problem of the digital divide between large agricultural holdings and small farmers. Based on the analytical data, three tables are presented that characterize the evolution of technological structures, the scope of AI applications in agriculture, and key indicators of the digitalization of the Russian agro-industrial complex. The conclusion is made about the need for an integrated approach combining technological innovations with inclusive policies, human capital development and international cooperation.
