📢📣Our new paper, "New Directions in Mapping the Earth’s Surface with Citizen Science and Generative AI," is published in iScience, a Cell Press journal 🌍📃 🤖🔭In this #perspective piece, we explore how #GenerativeAI, particularly multi-modal large language models #MLLLM, can enhance #citizenscience approaches for #landcover #landuse #mapping. Integrating generative AI with citizen science and #EarthObservation could result in a step change toward mapping the Earth's surface more accurately and dynamically 🛰️📡 ⚠️We also emphasize the need to carefully consider the broader ethical and environmental implications, including the environmental costs of AI and the potential impact on citizen scientist motivations. Huge thanks to Linda See for leading this effort and the paper! ➡️➡️Read it here: https://lnkd.in/gku3C9z4 #GenAI #ArtificialIntelligence #LargeLanguageModels #MachineLearning #ML #EO #LULC #crowdsourcing International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) IIASA Geo-Wiki ECSA - European Citizen Science Association Citizen Science Global Partnership RIECS-Concept cropsCS #EO4SDG #EO
