Introducing Satlas, Open Geospatial Data Generated by AI
We're thrilled to introduce Satlas, a brand new platform from AI2 for exploring global geospatial data generated by AI from satellite imagery. Currently, Satlas includes three data products that are updated monthly: marine infrastructure, renewable energy infrastructure, and tree cover. Timely geospatial data is critical for informing decisions in emissions reduction, disaster relief, urban planning, and more. We anticipate that the geospatial data products in Satlas will be useful for a wide range of planetary and environmental monitoring applications.
