For Manish Jethwa, CTO at Ordnance Survey (OS), the UK's national mapping service, the priority is to combine his organization's AI and ML experiences with recent advances in generative AI to refine, distribute, and apply its treasure troves of data.
Jethwa explained to ZDNET how language models (LLMs) are helping OS users find and query geospatial data. One of the key elements here is the organization's foundation models for AI, which serve as a base for building more specialized applications.

BMS Foundation Backs Malawi Cervical Cancer Project | Mirage News
Top Stories Tamfitronics The Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation, an independent charitable organization, has awarded Baylor College of Medicine Global Health $2.25 million for the Comprehensive Cervical Cancer Pilot Initiative in Malawi. Catharine Grimes, president, Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation (BMS Foundation), and Michael B. Mizwa, director, Texas Children's Global Health Network, Baylor College of Medicine Global Health, and board chair, Baylor Foundation Malawi, signed the agreement at the Area 25 Community Hospital, located outside the capital city of Lilongwe, where the bulk of the initiative's cervical cancer services will be centered.Cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death among women in Malawi. The country's cervical cancer mortality rate of 51.5 deaths per 100,000 women annually is more than twice that observed in other East African countries and about seven times the global average.

Geospatial AI Foundation Model Team Receives NASA Marshall Group Achievement Award
NASA Space Technology NASA’s science efforts aim to empower scientists with the tools to perform research into our planet and universe. To this end, a collaborative effort between NASA and IBM created an AI geospatial foundation model, which was released as an open-source application in 2024.Trained on vast amounts of NASA Earth science data, the foundation model can be adapted for Earth science applications such as flood, burn scar, and cropland studies. Tailoring the model for a specific task takes far less data than the original training set, providing an easy path for researchers to perform AI-powered studies.For their groundbreaking work on this project, the development team behind the foundation model has received the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center Group Achievement Award. Their success with the model showcases their commitment to advancing AI and scientific...
