With an increase use of AI in the #GIS industry, it's great to see how it used to assist in cases of natural disasters, like drought. While we aren't heavy AI users, our work in conflict areas often deals with natural and humanitarian disasters. For more:
ChatGPT but for maps.💡Here's a first look at our work on a Smart Mapping Assistant prototype that combines the power of GIS with generative AI. #AI #GIS

The Taliban's opium ban has led to a 67% drop in poppy cultivation areas in 2024, reshaping Afghanistan's economic and social landscape🌹. Read more in William Byrd's article: Understanding the Implications of the Taliban’s Opium Ban in Afghanistan.
A great article by Bill Byrd @USIP, drawing on reporting by @mansfieldintinc & @AlcisGeo on the risks & impacts of the #Taliban’s drugs ban in #Afghanistan and ahead into next year. Something has to give & the question is when, not if, this happens.
