We are pleased to report that the Pre-ICC Workshop on Cartography and AI (MapAI 2023) was well-attended in person and online on August 12th. We had a fantastic range of lightning talks presented by our speakers, and a really engaging afternoon of collaborative work and discussion thereafter.

Video recordings are now available for the presentations given by our speakers at MapAI 2023. The talks are split into two main parts, and a guide below can be used to browse each video.
