Is AI Creating a Whole New Earth-Aware Geospatial Stack? Promises and Challenges

Dr. Bruno Sanchez-Andrade Nuno
Clay – AI for Earth

The latest wave of AI innovation is profoundly changing many domains. In remote sensing, despite efforts like ours at Clay and others, it is been less so. In this talk we will share our experience as we realize, and explore, if geoAI represents a whole new stack to work with Earth data.

About the Speaker

Dr. Bruno Sanchez-Andrade Nuno is the executive director of the non-profit project Clay, an AI model for remote sensing. Previously, Bruno has had more than a decace of operational geosptatial system like director of the Planetary Computer at Microsoft, Big Data innovations at the World Bank, and Chief Scientist at Mapbox.

Evaluating the Satlas and Clay Remote Sensing Foundational Models

Steve Pousty, PhD
Voxel51

Geospatial and Earth Observation have benefited from the new advances in computer vision. In this talk we are going to evaluate the accuracy and ease of use for two of these great new models – the Satlas and Clay foundational models. The evaluation will look at distinct different areas on the globe. Come see how this gift of foundational models improves your work in geospatial or Earth observation analysis.
