Artificial Intelligence in Cartography

 

Artificial Intelligence is practically disrupting every possible progressive industry in the economy today. It has become a common buzzword echoing almost in all places. Its infinite potential is not just a center of amazement for people but also a point of intimidation for many. You’ve probably heard or read it somewhere by now about the apparent threat that looms on human jobs because of the advancements happing in AI, especially if you’re a working individual. So, before we get to the soul of this blog, let’s ask the more important questions first. Is AI really an existential crisis for humans? Will it eliminate the need for human employment? If so, how? 

From tech maestros to academic philosophers, AI is a topic of discussion for all. There are a few ethical concerns regarding AI that worry even the biggest advocates and beneficiaries of modern technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning. So when it comes to answering monumental questions like the ones asked above, the answer can’t not be paradoxical. In simple words, AI is both a threat and a non-threat to humanity. It is a threat to people who are reluctant in knowing the exact functioning of AI-powered applications and is not only a non-threat but also a real advantage for people willing to learn about AI.

How Does AI work in Cartography? 

Relating the same to the field of cartography, AI can be an excellent assistant to cartographers all around the world making their work 10x more efficient as compared to their usual speed. For years, cartographers have been doing the painstaking manual task of meticulously adding data from the ground and reviewing public satellite images by hand and annotating important features to map unmapped roads around the world.
