🌍 ITU Tech Monthly – Episode 002: All you ever wanted to know about GeoAI
🎙️ Presented by Max Jacobson-Gonzalez | 🎧 Guest: Andrea Manara (ITU)
In this episode of ITU Tech Monthly, we explore the transformative power of GeoAI—the fusion of geospatial data and artificial intelligence—and how it’s shaping a more sustainable, equitable future for all.
Join us as Andrea Manara from the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) shares real-world applications of GeoAI, from enhancing food security with the FAO, to detecting illegal activities in the Amazon with UNODC, and even estimating pollution levels using satellite imagery in collaboration with Politecnico di Milano.
🔍 Topics covered:
- What is GeoAI and why it matters Geospatial foundation models and their capabilities
- Integration with 6G, IoT, and next-gen networks
- Real-world use cases in sustainable development
- Ethical considerations and data bias The future of democratized
- GeoAI tools
Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, policymaker, or just curious about how AI is helping humanity, this episode offers a fascinating glimpse into the future of digital innovation.
