Detailed Agenda

This session introduces the foundations of AI within Esri’s ArcGIS platform. It explores how machine learning, deep learning, AI assistants, and large language models integrate with ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online. We will clarify key terminology, examine practical GIS-focused AI workflows, and distinguish between hype and classroom-ready capabilities. Attendees will see examples such as feature extraction, predictive modeling, and automated spatial analysis, along with guidance on positioning AI concepts within existing GIS curricula.
