Gabrielle: As you look to the future, could you just briefly share with us what's exciting for you as a GIS professional looking to the future. She says we are just scratching the surface of AI and that great things are coming. Gabrielle: I know the future will be absolutely focused on artificial intelligence.

Your feed might be dominated by LLMs these days, but there are some amazing things happening in computer vision that you shouldn’t ignore! In this episode, we bring you one of those amazing stories from Gabriel Ortiz, who is working with the government of Cantabria in Spain to automate cartography and apply AI to geospatial analysis. We hear about how AI tooling fits into the GIS workflow, and Gabriel shares some of his recent work (including work that can identify individual people, invasive plant species, building and more from aerial survey data).
