  GeoAI, or geospatial artificial intelligence, is an exciting new area that
leverages artificial intelligence (AI), geospatial big data, and massive
computing power to solve problems with high automation and intelligence. This
paper reviews the progress of AI in social science research, highlighting
important advancements in using GeoAI to fill critical data and knowledge gaps.
It also discusses the importance of breaking down data silos, accelerating
convergence among GeoAI research methods, as well as moving GeoAI beyond
geospatial benefits.
