Earth Observation with AI
An online workshop on Earth observation systems using AI agents will be organized by the LUMI AI Factory on 22 September 2026.
Recent advances in agentic AI are transforming how Earth observation data can be explored and analyzed. This workshop introduces the concept of agentic Earth observation systems, where AI agents combine planning, tool use, and reasoning to autonomously perform multi-step geospatial analysis from natural-language requests.
Drawing on recent developments, the session explores open-source architectures, data sources, and AI frameworks that could support similar capabilities in research and public-sector contexts. Through conceptual examples and interactive discussion, participants will examine opportunities, limitations, and governance considerations for trustworthy, explainable agentic Earth observation workflows.
Participants will gain a practical understanding of how emerging agentic AI approaches can be applied to Earth observation workflows. Attendees will leave with a clear conceptual framework for understanding and evaluating agentic Earth observation systems, as well as practical insight into how such capabilities could be prototyped using open technologies.
