Introduction to Developments of GIS Using Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been instrumental in shaping human cognitive understanding and advancing social development. Their evolution has closely mirrored the progress of information technology. While technological advancements have greatly enhanced GIS capabilities, GIS has also driven demand for innovations in areas such as spatiotemporal data collection, analysis, and application. Today’s digital era is characterized by big data, artificial intelligence, the internet of things, mobile computing, and cloud computing, which offer unprecedented opportunities for GIS development. To remain relevant and effective, GIS must embrace these emerging technologies and explore new pathways for growth within this rapidly evolving landscape.
