Rochester, NY, Dec. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eagleview, a leading provider of aerial imagery and intelligence, announces the release of its inaugural AI Impact and Adoption Report, a comprehensive look at how professionals are approaching artificial intelligence in their geospatial workflows across a variety of industries including government, insurance, construction, utilities, and real estate.
Drawing on responses from more than 100 industry professionals, the report offers a glimpse into how organizations are evaluating and adopting AI today.
The primary findings reveal that the users of GIS tools, aerial imagery, and geospatial data are highly optimistic about AI’s potential, yet measured and methodical about adoption.
Professionals Are Optimistic—but Want Proof, Accuracy, and Oversight
Nearly half of respondents (48%) described themselves as cautiously optimistic about AI, with another 23% expressing strong enthusiasm. However, respondents made clear that trust, accuracy, and transparency remain essential for adoption. In fact, 66% cited accuracy as their top concern when evaluating AI-powered aerial insights. Professionals want tools that reduce manual work, increase decision-making speed, and enhance accuracy, and are advocating for this in response to the black-box automation of yesteryear.
AI Adoption Remains Early, but Momentum Is Building
While many organizations are still exploring where AI fits into their workflows, usage is beginning to grow. Only 5% of respondents said their organization is deeply familiar with AI and actively using it today, but 44% expect their AI investment to increase over the next 12 months. The biggest barriers to adoption include lack of internal expertise (43%), cost of implementation (19%), and data privacy or security concerns (13%).
“Across industries, teams are excited about the impact AI can have. But they’re equally clear that accuracy, oversight, and real-world utility matter more than hype,” said Piers Dormeyer, CEO of Eagleview. “This report shows that organizations want practical tools that help them work faster and smarter.”
Demand Is Highest for Tools That Improve Visibility, Efficiency, and Field Operation Efforts
Respondents identified AI-enhanced geospatial analytics (50%), advanced change detection and predictive insights (46%), and remote property assessments (43%) as the top capabilities they want to adopt over the next three years. These priorities reflect a desire for better visibility, faster insights, and reduced manual effort. Notably, these are areas where AI-driven aerial intelligence is already showing a measurable impact.
Leadership and Technical Teams Are Driving AI Decisions Together
AI purchasing and adoption decisions are most influenced by C-level executives (41%), but GIS teams (33%) and IT/data science departments (31%) also play crucial roles in shaping how solutions are evaluated and implemented. Accuracy, ROI, and integration with existing workflows ranked as the top decision criteria when evaluating AI solutions.
