Observed social impact

Case	GenAI application	IIL depth	DC activated	Observed IIL mechanism	Social impact outcome
A	Wearable horse monitoring sensors	Shallow-moderate	Sensing	Farmer feedback recalibrated algorithm thresholds, improving the interpretive health narratives generated by the system	Small social impact gains such as earlier injury detection improved animal welfare (SDG 15) and reduced veterinary costs (SDG 8)
B	Camera-based livestock monitoring	Moderate	Seizing	Collaborative interpretation of health scores enabled employees to coordinate monitoring routines and intervene earlier	Moderate social impact creation such as higher milk production (SDG2) alongside improved working conditions (SDG8) and animal welfare improvements (SDG 15)
C	Agronomy chatbot	Shallow	None	Lack of localized data prevented contextual adaptation; feedback loop terminated early.	No social impact due to discontinued use
D	GenAI-enabled machinery and agronomist advice dashboard	Deep	Reconfiguring	Iterative parameter optimization embedded AI outputs into operational planning and sustainability reporting	Influential social impact due to decreased fertilizer use (SDG 12), improved economic efficiency (SDG 8) and resulting higher crop yields (SDG2)
