Geospatial AI refers to the application of artificial intelligence (AI) methods, such as deep learning and machine learning, to process and analyze geospatial data. This allows us to better understand the physical world and our interactions with it at different levels, from individual to global. Geospatial data includes any information connected to a location on Earth, such as UAV, satellite, and sensor data, as well as maps, GPS tracks, socioeconomic data from Census, transaction data and textual references to locations like in restaurant reviews and Tweets. AI can extract insights and patterns from geospatial data that traditional techniques may not be able to find.

What is AI for Good?
We have less than 10 years to solve the UN SDGs and AI holds great promise to advance many of the sustainable development goals and targets.
More than a Summit, more than a movement, AI for Good is presented as a year round digital platform where AI innovators and problem owners learn, build and connect to help identify practical AI solutions to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
AI for Good is organized by ITU in partnership with 40 UN Sister Agencies and co-convened with Switzerland.
