Niantic Spatial: Transforming How We Understand the World Through Geospatial Intelligence

We’re witnessing AI’s revolutionary impact, but what if this is just half the story? Today’s AIs are book smart – having read almost every word on the internet – but they are not street smart. They can code or write a sonnet, but they probably can’t tell you what’s around the corner. In this talk, Brian McClendon, CTO of Niantic Spatial Inc. will describe how Large Geospatial Models are the next frontier in AI, helping people, organizations, and machines – from AR glasses to humanoid robots – understand and interact with their surroundings. Just like large language models rewired how we process information, geospatial intelligence is poised to transform how we all understand and interact with the world.
