- From Earth to Algorithms: Generative AI in Geoscience: geoscientist.online/sections/fea... #aiinthegeosciences #geoethics #geoetica
- Generative AI is no longer a distant prospect: it is already reshaping how we work, think, and make decisions, both in our daily lives and across professional domains. In geoscience, this transformation is particularly significant.
- In his article “From Earth to Algorithms: Generative AI in Geoscience” (1 December 2025), Paul Cleverley (Chair of the Task Group on AI in Geosciences of the IUGS Commission on Geoethics) calls for a pragmatic and responsible adoption of AI tools within the geosciences.

View full threadAs geoscientists, embracing AI should go hand in hand with critical reflection, ensuring that algorithms enhance, rather than obscure, our understanding of the Earth. The future of geoscience lies not only in better tools, but in wiser choices about how we use them.
