Deep-time Digital Earth (DDE) linked research significantly undercounts African-led Geoscience Research.

My peer-reviewed critique in Geoenergy finds that African-led geoscience AI/ML capacity is significantly under-counted in research linked to the Deep-time Digital Earth (DDE) initiative. The DDE-linked paper identifies just 8 African-led geoscience AI/ML publications in 2024. Using comparable bibliometric methods based on just title/abstract screening, I identify 150+ publications across 22 African countries over the same period,... Continue Reading →

African institutions research output on Geoscience AI in 2024

It was reported in a recent academic article there were only 8 published papers on Geoscience AI led by African institutions in 2024. My research shows 400+ papers led by African researchers at African institutions in 2024 on Geoscience AI. This is a non trivial discrepancy illustrating how bibliometric data is not neutral.Reducing the complexity... Continue Reading →

World’s First Peer-Reviewed Paper on Artificial Intelligence (AI) Ethics in the Geological Sciences with a focus on Language Models.

Delighted my paper on AI Ethics in the Geological Sciences has been published today in the peer reviewed open access Journal of Geoethics and Social Geosciences!AbstractArtificial Intelligence (AI) offers many opportunities for the geosciences to improve productivity, reduce uncertainty in models and stimulate discovery of new knowledge. There are also risks to geoscience, from the... Continue Reading →
