Today, digital twins, autonomy and artificial intelligence (AI) dominate the lexicon of the geomatics industry. These capabilities provide significant productivity advantages to our profession, but our domain content and knowledge are critical to their success. These tools will change the way we work and transform the industry. However, they will not replace us, but rather change our role. This is no different than when the EDM, total station, CAD, or GPS became part of our professional lives...
