Geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI) is not just a tool but a potential revolution in geospatial data analysis. It is rapidly becoming a powerful force, providing unprecedented insights into complex environmental and societal challenges. From mapping and modeling land cover changes to mapping flood-risk areas, GeoAI is set to transform geospatial decision-making, harnessing the power of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) for more effective solutions.
GeoAI models can more efficiently analyze massive geospatial datasets such as high-resolution satellite imagery than traditional methods. This allows us to uncover patterns and trends that would be difficult to detect manually. It also helps automate complex tasks such as feature engineering and improve predictions. GeoAI is also valuable for solving real-world problems such as urban planning, forest conservation, disaster risk management, and climate change adaptation.
However, despite these benefits, GeoAI has its challenges. The complexity of ML and DL models often results in a lack of transparency due to their "black box" nature. This makes it difficult for users to trust the results. Data quality can significantly impact the performance of GeoAI models, leading to potential biases or inaccuracies in predictions. Furthermore, spatial autocorrelation and spatial heterogeneity are not readily incorporated into GeoAI, limiting its ability to capture the underlying spatial dynamics of geospatial data fully. Interpreting these results requires specialized knowledge, which may limit the accessibility of GeoAI for broader audiences.
Please share your experiences or thoughts on how we can effectively balance the benefits of GeoAI with the need for transparency and trust in geospatial data analysis.

Is it ethical and copyrightable to post ebooks created by ChatGPT on the Internet that lack citation references and commonly plagiarize entire sentences, paragraphs, chapters from other publications taken by OpenAI from various websites?
Over the past few months, a number of offers of various consulting services, training courses and webinars have appeared on online social media, which initially offer the first trial lessons, webinars, training courses as part of a promotion for free and subsequent ones for a fee. Initially, ebooks are offered free of charge as part of the promotion, which are usually developed with the help of ChatGPT, are of poor content quality, usually containing only general, well-known, popular science knowledge, which can be found independently on the Internet on various websites. Besides, the ebooks created with the help of ChatGPT or other similar intelligent chatbots do not contain all the sources correctly listed. Besides, the resulting ebooks contain many passages, whole sentences, paragraphs taken from other publications that are not shown in the bibliography, and plagiarism thus occurs. In addition, in the field of expertise, there are factual errors and irrational, random, random, combined content from different sources, and thus inconsistent with the facts, ridiculous content and/or descriptions of "fictitious facts" occur. This is because much of the database that constitutes the sources of data and information for ChatGPT is factually outdated, as it dates from late 2021 or January 2022. It may happen that in the ChatGPT-generated text there may be some sensitive data of specific companies or public institutions, which found themselves there accidentally by being mistakenly entered into ChatGPT by an employee of a specific company or institution. In view of the above, there are still gaps in paragraphs in the legal norms defining the rules for the correct use of tools such as ChatGPT, and still the adaptation of legal norms to the rapidly developing technology is often done with too much delay. Besides, popular online social media even feature partly free and partly paid training courses and webinars, where Internet users learn how to create texts for articles, columns, essays, etc., as well as chapters for books, which can be published as ebooks, in a relatively easy way with the help of applications available on the Internet based on generative artificial intelligence technology. Besides, in addition to text, graphics, photos, drawings, etc., which are included in the texts of chapters in ebooks can also be generated semi-automatically in applications based on generative artificial intelligence technology. It also happens that during the aforementioned online trainings and webinars, access is sold to specially created websites that act as intermediary platforms, overlays that contain links to various AI-based web applications, which have been classified in a certain way on a specially created platform and, to make identification more difficult, the links are called by different names relative to the web applications to which they direct. In addition, many of these web-based applications based on generative AI technology are made available on the Internet on the original source sites free of charge. On the other hand, on intermediary platforms created by companies or sole proprietors that contain links referencing these applications, access is paid for and is often sold as part of so-called promotional offers during the conducted, aforementioned online training courses and webinars. Internet users usually learn about such online trainings and webinars from banners and advertising posts posted on popular online social media sites.
I described the key issues of opportunities and threats to the development of artificial intelligence technology in my article below:
OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS AND THE NEED FOR NORMATIVE REGULATION OF THIS DEVELOPMENT
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
Is it ethical and copyrightable to post on the Internet ebooks created by ChatGPT that lack citation references and commonly plagiarize entire sentences, paragraphs, chapters from other publications taken by OpenAI from various websites?
Is it ethical to post ebooks created by ChatGPT on the Internet that lack citation references and plagiarism commonly occurs?

Ethical questions nowadays are the most important ones especially concerning AI development. It is unethical to use a material without proper references and citations, and a plagiarism is still unacceptable. Authors and researchers who use AI to create an ebooks have to be critical to what was generated and add references manually if other ways do not work.

Answer
Dear Lizny Jaufer,
The architecture of the Present
Contemporary architecture is the architecture of the twenty-first century, constantly changing and encompassing a variety of styles ranging from high-tech design and open spaces to forms that reflect movement, some resembling massive sculptures. Contemporary architectural styles share characteristics such as the use of modern building materials and computer-aided design, which encourage taller, lighter buildings of organic design. The "Birds Nest" sports complex in Beijing and the Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, both of which demonstrate the free-flowing forms possible with 3-D modeling software, are notable examples of contemporary architecture. The Kauffman Performing Arts Center in Kansas City is a local example, with its naturalistic metal forms and structural curtain wall of glass.
As a result of industrialization, modern architecture developed in response to new industrialized materials and technologies, resulting in-plane and sleek facades shunting ornamentation and rejecting earlier traditional styles, materials, and construction techniques. The material contributes to the physical form of a design. The only factor that is tangible in nature is building materiality. And this tangible component provides a variety of intangible emotions and feelings that can be controlled by choosing the appropriate material.

I am very confused because it is not very clear to me whether there is a dance between reflexivity and bracketing as Finaly(2008) suggests.Anyone with that eBook please send it to me?
Relevant answer
Answer
Dora, I don't have Finaly (2008) and the references on my bookshelves are probably a bit out of date (e.g. Ahern 1999) but still provide a useful foundation for understanding. In my view, the two are sequential. Given that your research topic has probably been derived from your own interest, reflexivity is almost bound to be built in - as soon as you have data to analyse, you will reflect on it in light of personal experience. You can never (I believe) be totally objective or unbiased because your own experience will colour your perceptions, but you then need to bracket off your own instinctive responses when you are interpreting the data further so that your findings are - as far as possible - based on your respondents' views, not your own. You can compare/contrast them as you wind up towards conclusion. I offer this based on my own experience and others might disagree - that's the nature of qualitative research! But that, to me, is what makes it vibrant and challenging.

About two years ago, I thought that eBooks would be the way to go. I purchased a Kindle and found out, subsequently, that many titles I sought were not compatible. Furthermore, I found that often times there was a time limit on the textbook type eBooks - meaning the books deactivate and deny access after a stated time period (e.g., 4 months), and this occurs despite the fact that the eBooks are nearly the same cost as the print versions. I have opted to continue purchasing the majority of my books in hard copy for these two reasons (i.e., cost & time limits). When I am able to purchase an eBook without time restrictions, then I most certainly do so.
I do also send many journal articles, in PDF format, to my Kindle.
