    This talk on Generative AI and Foundational Models presents the cutting-edge of AI development, starting with a clear definition of generative AI, its fundamental attributes, and a showcase of the most impactful examples such as GPT-4, Google Gemini, and Llama. It examines how these models are setting benchmarks in the AI landscape and discusses the advantages and challenges that come with the integration of such advanced technologies in various sectors. 

    The presentation will further delve into the specifics of foundational models, highlighting their key features and the debate surrounding open source versus proprietary models. We will explore the emergence of multimodal AI as a critical advancement and assess its role in enhancing image data analysis. The session will then pivot to the geospatial industry, revealing how foundational models like the NASA-IBM collaboration and tools like Stable Diffusion are creating new pathways for innovation, offering increased API access, open-source initiatives, and robust AI infrastructure. 

    To wrap up, we will touch on the practical applications of generative AI in the geospatial sector, consider the potential risks and ethical concerns associated with its adoption, and discuss the shaping influence of EU policies like the AI Act and Data Act. Predictions for the future impact of generative AI will set the stage for a closing discussion, inviting participants to engage with the content and contribute their perspectives on the unfolding future of AI. 

    This live event includes a 30-minute networking event hosted on the AI for Good Neural Network. This is your opportunity to ask questions, interact with the panelists and participants and build connections with the AI for Good community.
