You're listening to Very Spatial Podcast, episode 793, September 13th, 2026. Welcome to our Very Spatial Podcast. I'm Jesse. I'm Sue. I'm Barb.
And this is Frank. And this week we're going to be talking to another person that was at the Esri UC this year. But first, of course, we have lots of news, including Atlas AI. So we talked about world labs whenever they first organized.
And I think that was like two, maybe three years ago now. And their focus, of course, isn't so much about large language models. It's about spatial models and trying to understand how to use AI for geographic information, for spatial intelligence, as they call it.
That was the opening. The rest of the episode (37 min) is in the player: every word clickable, with translation, saved words and flashcards.
