In recent years, the cross-pollination of research between the fields of artificial intelligence, machine learning and GIScience has led to the emergence of a rich vein of research that has been termed by many as GeoAI. GeoAI involves the use of advanced AI algorithms, such as convolutional and recurrent neural networks, for solving complex geographical problems. These methods have shown excellent progress across many application domains, including satellite image classification, semantic segmentation, simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) and object detection, amongst others. As we look towards the next decades, AI will underpin many of the functions that we will come to rely on, including autonomous vehicles, smart cities, weather and climate modelling and infrastructure networks. Crucial to the success of these approaches will be the ability to model the properties of spatio-temporal data – so called SpaceTimeAI. In particular, SpaceTimeAI has an important role to play in the simulation of human and environmental processes through the use of new multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) and generative adversarial network (GAN) methods. This symposium aims to bring together the ISPRS and wider community working in SpaceTimeAI and GeoAI, geocomputation, geosimulation, spatial and spatio-temporal analysis and related disciplines to present their latest research. The event will provide a forum to discuss the issues surrounding the ubiquity of AI in all aspects of daily life.
