Agriculture may use AI to inform how they do things, and eventually, machines could then take that knowledge and run the farm for you.

Given how straight tractors drive, the way you can programme the topend to self plant/harvest a field. The driving itself isn't AI, but there's a ton of image recognition software popping up that can limit the amount of pesticides used. As they're able to recognise the exact areas in need of them.

Then we have drones able to capture soil efficiency and there's probably a ton of other cases. AI is definitely altering farming and in theory could also reduce the needed amount of manpower - As more and more specialised machinery, can be used more or less autonomously. There's legitimately farms in the Netherlands marked as airports, so they're allowed to fly drones of a certain size. And all the imagery processing is also depending on a kind of AI
