Dr. Georgios K. Ouzounis
Vice President - AI Research at Atlas AI
Dr. Ouzounis exploring a groundbreaking leap in global intelligence, where advanced AI meets satellite imagery to deliver unprecedented, planet-wide insights. For the first time in history, wide-area monitoring is no longer limited to regional snapshots. Instead, high-resolution satellite data, processed by cutting-edge AI, enables weekly, scalable updates across the entire Earth.
This keynote will reveal how this transformative capability is reshaping decision-making across key sectors—from detecting supply chain disruptions and monitoring construction growth, to analyzing economic activity and strengthening defense and security operations. By extracting high-quality, unique insights at a global scale, we unlock a new era of planetary awareness—timely, actionable, and truly borderless.
