Quite many from @digigeolab were at the #LBS2025 conference last week presenting our work on #Mobility #GIScience #Geography and #GeoAI, and we wrote a small blog post on it.
I am looking forward to Isaac Oluoch‘s PhD defence today. Feel free to join us online. It has been a pleasure to serve as his supervisor for his #PSTS MSc thesis and as his Daily Supervisor (w/ Monika Kuffer). #PhilTech #STS #RemoteSensing #GeoAI https://www.itc.nl/events/2025/4/255007/phd-defence-isaac-oluoch-frame-pro-framework-for-the-responsible-and-accountable-mapping-of-deprived-urban-areas

@seachanger @jeffzugale this kind of thing goes through my mind whenever the new buzzword #geoAI pops up 
. Automated locating things (people) and their attributes to enhance decisions (usually harm).

Happy to try to answer questions if you have any

Where do we stand re #geocoding? Still no magic #LLM bullet to solve our problems?
I must be missing something.
Any pointers, #GISChat?
This week I quit my #PublicSector role
It's been a very long time coming
It was the gibberish and #hype around #AI that finally did for me
On top of the myopic pursuit of #growth and worrying about #CompetitiveAdvantage (in a world on the edge of collapse)
And the lack of recognition, ever, that their entire #GeoAI programme came out of my work - the #research that I initiated and the team that I trained
And that that work, and the amazing, but tiny, teams now working on it, remain under-resourced and locked into a predatory platform provider
And the financial disadvantage of being in a role that is intended to work to longer than annual horizons in an organisation that cannot retain even a Teams message for longer than 6 months
I do see recent potential that all that could change but I no longer have the stamina to see those changes through
My last act, with two of my gorgeous colleagues, was to draft a #ResponsibleAI charter - it needs a lot of work but there was a glimmer of hope in the way it was received
My heart and spirit are broken, but I feel flutters of excitement about what lies ahead

Hi there 
my name is Stef (they/them).
I am an associate professor of #GIScience at the School of #Geography, Geology and the Environment and research theme lead for cultural informatics at the Institute for Digital Culture of the University of #Leicester. I research and teach geographic #datascience using #rstats, #visualisation, #GeoAI, #GIS and #digitalgeographies.
Above all, I am still trying to understand what on earth this place is
