  • Artificial intelligence that hunts through billions of aerial and satellite images can find buildings or land features that are alike in one-tenth of a second. This could help researchers identify where forests or farms are, or could be used by the military to find bases or specific weapons in other countries. Here, Lu discusses the development of Xander Rudelis and his colleagues at Descartes Labs, a geospatial data firm in New Mexico, of the tool, which can identify similar places around the world when given a certain feature--for example, a power plant, forest or car park. Rudelis says it could be given very specific tasks.
