OPINIONS: How satellite data can help cities battle climate change - Francesco Amato of Latitudo 40 explores how leveraging satellite imagery analysis and AI can deliver impactful geospatial insights and drive impactful change #AI #ClimateAction #Resilience https://ow.ly/Ic1g50Sw5TW

"Our work is driven by a passion for leveraging AI and GEE to address some of the most urgent challenges facing our planet today." At the Google 2023 Geo for Good Summit, KTH Professor Yifang Ban, Department of Urban Planning and Environment at KTH, and her team (Puzhao Zhang, Sebastian Hafner, Yu Zhao) were honoured with the Google Geo for Good Impact Award.    The recognition highlights their contributions to wildfire monitoring, urban mapping and risk assessment for enhanced urban resilience and sustainability in the face of climate change and extreme events.   Learn more about the team's remarkable work: https://lnkd.in/dZhKQQmj #bigdata #wildfire #AI #gee #climatechange #digitalfutures #urbanplanning

Ready to launch into the future of space exploration? 🚀 The latest episode of 'Making Sense of Space' explores the game-changing role of AI in space data analytics. Our head of Global Space & Aerial Mobility research, Edison Yu has an insightful conversation with Peter Platzer, CEO of Spire, about how AI is revolutionising our understanding of space. They discuss the current applications of AI, from optimising satellite operations to uncovering hidden patterns in massive datasets, and discuss the exciting potential of generative AI and large language models (LLMs) to unlock even deeper insights from space data. Peter shares his vision for the future of space exploration, highlighting the importance of collaboration and evolving business models. Don't miss out on this fascinating discussion about the intersection of AI and space! And watch this space (pun intended!) for part two of the discussion. 🎧 Listen to the full podcast here: https://lnkd.in/esFNtPDd #AI #SpaceExploration #DataAnalytics #Innovation #FutureofTech

🚀 How can data from space help our climate on Earth? In this article from SpaceNews, Deloitte's Brett Loubert describes the potential of using AI to gain intelligent insights from satellite data. 🌐 Data from Earth observation satellites can help leaders make more informed decisions about #climatechange, according to research by the World Economic Forum and Deloitte. 🌱 "The traditional intelligence community type applications are still going to grow, but there's also a burgeoning demand for data related to climate and sustainability," says Brett Loubert. 🛰️ Explore the transformative impact of AI and satellite data on #climategoals and sustainability: https://deloi.tt/42d8Ijm #Space #AI #ClimateAction #SpaceInnovation #ImpactThatMatters Deloitte

From March 5 to 7, the third Plenary Meeting of the SmartCommUnity Project (https://lnkd.in/eRg3hHt6) is being held in Valle d'Aosta, Italy. The project, which is part of the Interreg Alpine Space program, aims to combat some of the problems plaguing the rural world in the Alpine area. The Software Competence Center Hagenberg, represented by our colleague Jorge Martinez-Gil, presents a new release of the platform with a chatbot trained on information about the rural world, as well as a SmartApp that analyzes geographic information from open sources to offer possible suggestions for improvement. #interreg #InterregAlpineSpace #scch #datascience #softwarescience #AI #research #hagenberg

What do wooly mammoths, the race to mars and breaking the algorithm have in common? SXSW Sydney was a convergence of creative industries and ideas. I used it as an opportunity to explore topics I didn't know much about - here's a few things I took away from my experience: 🚀 Australian Space Agency and Colossal Biosciences taught us that innovation at the extremes of possibility (think space exploration, and de-extincting the wooly mammoth) exposes us to new challenges which can prompt advancements in seemingly unrelated fields such as food security, medicine, disaster response and endangered species protection. 🤔 Manal (Mia) al-Sharif and Rohit Bhargava reminded us to recognise the inherent bias in the information that we are exposed to in our everyday lives. To break the cycle we need to venture outside our bubbles and echo chambers; have conversations with people who share different views, question where your news comes from, be curious and seek out things that contradict your opinions, values, tastes and interests. Break the algorithm! 👩💻 Google encouraged us to embrace AI - play with it, test it, make mistakes and learn something new. Rapid developments in AI will significantly affect jobs of the future. With many of us likely to be working into our late 60s/70s - it is more important than ever to skill up and stay relevant.
