The 14th ISDE International Lectures, themed “Harnessing the Power of Generative AI in GIScience”, successfully took place on 21 January 2025, attracting over 3,400 participants worldwide via platforms such as Zoom and the ISDE Bilibili channel. This event brought together leading experts in the field of GIScience to explore the diverse applications of Generative AI in understanding human-environment interactions, disaster management, and the development of next-generation GIS systems. Dr. Zhenlong Li presented on “Autonomous GIS: The Next-Generation AI-Powered GIS.” He introduced the concept of the Autonomous GIS, which leverages advanced AI technologies to create intelligent and adaptive geospatial systems. Dr. Li showcased a prototype called LLM-Geo that uses large language models to automate spatial data collection, analysis, and visualisation. The system demonstrated its ability to retrieve human mobility data and visualise trends, highlighting the potential of Autonomous GIS to revolutionise spatial analysis and decision-making processes. In addition to presenting, Dr. Li also served as the event’s moderator, facilitating engaging discussions throughout the session.
