Accelerating infrastructure decision-making with AI feature extraction

From infrastructure modernization to climate resilience, geospatial insights are powering how infrastructure is designed, built, and maintained globally. As 2025 begins, geospatial data stands at the forefront of critical decision-making, empowering organizations to solve complex infrastructure and safety challenges. Here are the key trends shaping the geospatial industry and its broader implications.

  1. Faster and More Accessible Geospatial Technology
    Recent advancements in automated geospatial data extraction processes are revolutionizing how industries leverage Geospatial Information Systems (GIS). These technologies, powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), enable organizations to process massive datasets faster than ever before. This speed unlocks quicker insights and makes continuous asset monitoring a reality. In the transportation and utility sectors, automated extraction tools are streamlining infrastructure inspections, identifying potential failures earlier, and optimizing maintenance schedules. Automated geospatial extraction is poised to impact all industries that require accurate digital models and spatial insights where it can enhance infrastructure assessments, predictive maintenance, and the integration of precise geospatial data into digital construction models for improved project planning and lifecycle management.

Charlie Fitzpatrick on Geospatial Skills – a TEDxYouth Talk

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

Article source: 

This is a TEDxYouth talk by Charlie Fitzpatrick for K-12 students.

Charlie Fitzpatrick is Manager of K12 Education for Esri, a company based in Redlands, CA, that makes geographic information system (“GIS”) software. Charlie was trained in Minnesota as a geographer and teacher. He taught social studies in grades 7-12 for 15 years, with most time in 8th grade (by choice). He spent free time helping teachers learn how to teach with computers (especially geography), and directed multi-week teacher institutes on that for IBM and the National Geographic Society. In 1992, he shifted to Esri to help administrators, teachers, and students learn about the many layers of the world, global to local, and solve problems through geographic analysis. Geospatial technology is a fast-growing arena, and Esri’s sole business is GIS, because people with geospatial skills are needed in every single industry, in governments, businesses, and agencies all over the world.
