GeoAI and You: The Future of GIS, Today - GEO Jobe

As a geospatial professional in 2020, it's nearly impossible to avoid being exposed to the ideas of AI, machine learning, and deep learning. Projects utilizing these technologies have been at the forefront of articles, panels, and presentations -- often displayed proudly on stage during conferences and other events (virtual or otherwise). What is interesting to me is that, despite their recent popularity, there are still many misconceptions about what these words really mean, and how they can be applied within a geospatial context. "You mean they aren't just all synonyms for the same thing?" Let's help G. O. out a bit, and go over the differences between the terms here, so that they can be prepared to dip their own toes into the GeoAI waters.
