How Could Government and Private Entities Benefit From a Marriage of AI & GIS for Mission-Critical Solutions?
by Mayurakshi Das
The convergence of AI (Artificial Intelligence) and GIS (Geographic Information Systems) has unearthed several real-world applications for the new concept, and completely revolutionized the sector in a number of ways.
To truly understand how the marriage of AI and GIS could benefit governments and private entities, we must first understand what GIS is used for.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are complex and intuitive computer systems, which help capture, collect, store, check, process, analyse, and manage geographical data. … This basic understanding of what GIS can do is enough to reveal potential real-world applications of such technology. However, when enhanced with the unique abilities of AI, GIS can be used for a range of mission-critical solutions such as: epidemic control, climate forecasting, assessment of renewable energy potential, logistics management, data cleansing, image interpretation, semantic classification and segmentation, handwriting recognition, speech recognition, face recognition, virtual reality, image processing and more.
Judging solely based on these application and ideas, it is easy to see why AI GIS has become the primary focus of geoscience research and the countless ways it can benefit from this amalgamation. A deeper look into the precise applications of AI GIS in the modern world will reveal just how utilitarian and necessary this partnership will be for a safe, secure, sustainable, and sensible future.
