For over half a century, the geospatial industry has operated on a foundational, largely unchallenged premise: the physical world is an absolute reality, and the goal of technology is to measure, i…
Da verwendet Google ein Satellitenbild Nördlingens und schreibt „Powered by Google Research’s Population Dynamics Foundation Model (PDFM), PDI is a first-of-its-kind geospatial embeddings dataset designed to help organizations decode the complex relationship between human behavior and the physical world.“

Today at Cloud Next, we're introducing the Preview of Population Dynamics Insights (PDI), a Google Earth AI dataset that is now available via Google Maps Platform. Powered by Google Research’s Population Dynamics Foundation Model (PDFM), PDI is a first-of-its-kind geospatial embeddings dataset designed to help organizations decode the complex relationship between human behavior and the physical world. By distilling aggregated trends from Google Search and Google Maps into rich 330-dimensional embeddings for locations across the globe, it enables a new era of spatial machine learning without the need for manual feature engineering.
Profiting from Peace - Can AI and Machine Learning create a more secure world?
Despite the evidence of financial waste and another tech bubble about to burst, AI-backed technologies are starting to make an impact in the non-profit world. One example is Andreas Papp ’s PeaceEye FlexCo which harnesses AI and Machine Learning to collate, verify and analyse data to warn of potential outbreaks of conflict.

According to independent journalist Will Lockett technology companies spent $400 billion on Artificial Intelligence last year which, he points out, is enough money to wipe out world hunger for 10 years. This huge investment will almost double in the next year or two.

TIL that the science of informatics as applied to geology, seismology, geophysics, etc. is called "geoinformatics". Maybe obvious, but I never put it together!
