Description
Hardly a day goes by where we don’t hear something about Artificial Intelligence (AI). This overwhelming trend is not new, AI has been around and been used by public works organizations for decades. While most of the attention is focused on generative AI, the technology that generates new text, audio, images, video, or code, non-generative AI can deliver significant business value with low risk.
High-performing public works agencies are experiencing new efficiencies and proactively managing their assets with the application of AI. Public works is a location-based operation and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is the mission-critical, enterprise IT business system designed to power better and more efficient location-based, data-driven decision making. Integrating GIS and AI is known as GeoAI. Learn how GeoAI can replace manual operations and maintenance workflows, increase efficiency, perform predictive analysis, and foresee where you can make a greater impact in your community.
