THREE TRENDS DRIVING THE geospatial AI REVOLUTION

Geospatial AI, the intersection of geospatial data and artificial intelligence, is the new frontier of technological innovation that promises to transform entire business industries. Paul Hahn discusses the three driving forces enabling the rise of geospatial AI and the immense potential and opportunities it represents for entreprises, governments and the world we live in.

Behind the rise of geospatial AI are three trends: increased availability of geospatial data from satellites and remote sensing, the advancement of artificial intelligence (particularly machine and deep learning), and the availability of massive computational power.

For decades, geographic information systems (GIS) have been used widely to present a view of our world based on geographic and geospatial data. In many asset-intensive industries such as energy, transportation, and the public sector the ability to visualise business objects on maps is critical to improving efficiency
