GIS IS DEAD! This weeks guest is Andrew Schroeder, Co-founder of WeRobotics, Co-director of CrisisReady, and Vice President of research and analysis at Direct Relief. It may come as a surprise to some given Andrew's background but he posits that the concept of GIS as a tool for humanitarian response is outdated. With the rise of automated mapping and AI supported GIS, Andrew firmly believes that GIS can move into a future where interacting with a GIS will become the realm of policy experts and decision makers. This may also come as a shock to many GIS officers who have built their careers on mapping and geospatial data processing, but he also believes that there is room for experts in geospatial data. Lets hear what he has to say in this riveting and cross-disciplinary episode of the 15 Minute Maps Podcast.
