The AI Revolution is Coming for GIS: What You Need to Know About Microsoft’s Latest Warning is a pretty dire read...but you probably should add 5-10 years to this timeline. Here are a few take-home messages for me:
- The impact will be most-significant on the entry-level jobs.
- But, field work and basic project management will still be around for a while.
- Coding is still a key skill, but it will be all about AI-assisted coding in the very near future. But, you will need to have a good understanding of coding and how AI 'thinks' in-order to effectively prompt the AI.
- Take an online class in maschine learning for geospatial applications.
- Combine GIS expertise with complementary skills such as urban planning, environmental science, and more.
