How Artificial Intelligence is Improving Open Source GIS

More and more companies are starting to use geospatial data for their machine learning applications to draw insights from the patterns of life. To better understand how they do this, we'll discuss what exactly is meant with Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI). We'll cover the tasks that form part of (geospatial) machine learning and deep learning workflows, the prerequisites to perform these, and give an overview of the current tools and initiatives in the open source GIS community to integrate machine learning and deep learning into existing workflows. Artificial Intelligence is the science and engineering of making machines intelligent, so that they can achieve a task the way humans do. While true AI does not exist (yet), AI subfields are improving rapidly and already changing the way companies understand how people interact with their environment and how they make predictions based on the patterns they discover in their data, such as predicting traffic patterns or housing prices, or simply classifying large quantities of imagery data.
