5 Ways Geospacial AI is Being Used Today

Geospatial AI might be in its infancy, but it has a number of applications across all industries. Using a combination of drone cameras and machine learning, geospatial AI can identify suitable locations for business sites and endangered species; it can improve efficiency and reduce risk.

Analysis and Growth

Geospatial AI is used in many industries, including commerce. When a business considers a new site for a store or a warehouse, it needs to think about the logistics and the proximity to customers and suppliers. Geospatial AI uses analytics to create insights for business growth.

Machine learning programs are designed to locate clusters and hotspots within complex datasets, making them ideal for identifying locations and commercial sites for new stores. The data can be used to discover more about demographics in the area and consumer behavior.

Monitoring and Tracking

Businesses can benefit from geospatial AI if they have some infrastructure that needs to be tracked and monitored. For instance, a utility company might require some regular monitoring of the location, network, or site to prevent efficiency issues and maintain the integrity of the site.

If there is a location component to a business, it can benefit from geospatial AI. After monitoring and tracking the area with drones, machine learning will analyze the images and target areas in need of repair. Using this system can save a business from inefficiencies and losses in revenue.

Risk Management

Businesses need to take risks at times to enhance growth, but it makes sense to limit risk as much as possible; geospatial AI can help. Machine learning can create more accurate predictions about the future, helping businesses to be more conservative with risk-taking.

Machine learning provides a business with an accurate prediction about their future choices. Not only can technology prejudice decision-making in the business, but it can also predict the outcomes of those decisions improving risk management and accelerating business growth.

Climate Change

Climate change is a major issue for the planet in the next twenty years, and while most individuals and businesses are making efforts toward Net Zero, chances are technology has an important role to play. Geospatial AI can manage, track, and inform scientists and businesses.

Using geospatial data, businesses and scientists can gather information on the impact of climate change in hard-to-reach places; this helps institutions to make accurate macro decisions based on relevant climate data. Climate change models can also be produced using this data.

Conservation Efforts

Geospatial AI is also used in the area of conservation. Again, drones are versatile and effective at recording conservation sites in their element. This data is then used to monitor wildlife numbers and identify relevant species. Accurate data is used to make conservation decisions.

If a conservationist is looking for a new site or a suitable site to relocate some of the animals, geospatial AI can identify the areas with the right vegetation and enough space. If they are dealing with an endangered species, then identifying the right site is crucial to their survival.
