Spatial Digital Twins and AI: Racing into the Future | AI FOR GOOD DISCOVERY
0Recent advances in technology and reduction in costs of sensory devices for data collection have created an uplift in interest, application, and breadth of Digital Twin use cases. Broader adoption of Spatial Digital Twins across various use-cases requires more accurate spatial information to align the digital and physical worlds. Spatial data integration is crucial in adoption and scalability across 25+ Digital Twin use-cases. These insights were part of the World Geospatial Industry Council (WGIC) report on Spatial Digital Twins. \n\nCreating a near-real-time digital replica of the physical world will require a continuous update through numerous data sources and sensor feeds. Data uploaded from field-to cloud-based platforms assisted by automation and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is seen as a way forward to provide faster access to data and insights. \n\nSuch possibilities and capacities now exist in the geospatial sector, at a smaller scale, in use-cases such as processing large volumes of satellite, aerial, and LiDAR data sets to create 2D datasets and 3D models. This AI for Good webinar will bring out the latest developments in this exciting space of digital twins and its integration with AI/ML through use-cases. Further, the discussions will revolve around replicating the current learnings to larger digital twin projects.\n\nOpening remarks:\nAndrea Manara, Senior System Analyst, International Telecommunication Union (ITU)\nHarsha Madiraju, Associate Director, World Geospatial Industry Council (WGIC)\n\nSpeakers:\nNicolaus Hanowski, Department Head Ground Segments and Operations, The European Space Agency (ESA)\nPeter Atalla, CEO & Founder, VoxelMaps, Inc\nChris Tanner, Business Development Specialist, AAM Geomatics\nOmar Maher, Director for Artificial Intelligence, ESRI\nUwe Jasnoch, Director Geospatial division, Hexagon\n\n\nJoin the Neural Network! \nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/neural-network/\nThe AI for Good networking community platform powered by AI. \nDesigned to help users build connections with innovators and experts, link innovative ideas with social impact opportunities, and bring the community together to advance the SDGs using AI.\n\n Watch the latest #AIforGood videos!\n\n\nExplore more #AIforGood content:\n AI for Good Top Hits\n • Top Hits \n\n AI for Good Webinars\n • AI for Good Webinars \n\n AI for Good Keynotes\n • AI for Good Keynotes \n\n Stay updated and join our weekly AI for Good newsletter:\nhttp://eepurl.com/gI2kJ5\n\n Discover what's next on our programme!\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/programme/\n\nCheck out the latest AI for Good news:\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/newsroom/\n\nExplore the AI for Good blog:\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/ai-for-good-blog/\n\n Connect on our social media:\nWebsite: https://aiforgood.itu.int/\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/ITU_AIForGood\nLinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/26511907 \nLinkedIn Group: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8567748 \nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/aiforgood \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AIforGood\n\nWhat is AI for Good?\nThe AI for Good series is the leading action-oriented, global & inclusive United Nations platform on AI. The Summit is organized all year, always online, in Geneva by the ITU with XPRIZE Foundation in partnership with over 35 sister United Nations agencies, Switzerland and ACM. The goal is to identify practical applications of AI and scale those solutions for global impact.\n\nDisclaimer:\nThe views and opinions expressed are those of the panelists and do not reflect the official policy of the ITU.\n\n#GeoAI #AIforGoodDiscovery
