GeoAI and the Law Newsletter

Keeping geospatial professionals informed on the legal and policy issues that will impact GeoAI.

I want to extend my sincerest apologies for the extended hiatus in the newsletter. This pause was taken to reassess and refine the format of our newsletter to better serve the geospatial community. I appreciate your patience and continued support.

Going forward the plan is to publish two emails a week. One will be a summary of legal and policy developments from the past week that could have an impact on the adoption of GeoAI. This might include laws, regulations, bills, court decisions and interesting articles. This newsletter will be available free to all subscribers.

The second email will be a deep dive into an important legal issue related to GeoAI. This might be a detailed analysis of a law or regulation, a discussion of how an existing law, such as the European AI Act could apply to a GeoAI use case, or a breakdown of key legal issues, such as copyright, privacy or national security. This newsletter will be made available to paid subscribers.

The revenue generated from paid subscribers will continue to be used to provide scholarships for law students to attend local geospatial conferences and events. In fact, the Centre has recently awarded its first scholarship for a student studying in Spain to attend the Geospatial World Forum in 2025. We hope that the new format – which will begin next week – will support many additional scholarships in the future.
