AEG AI/Machine Learning Virtual Symposium
Artificial intelligence is rapidly entering applied geoscience practice, but its value depends on how well it is grounded in geologic understanding, field observations, and professional judgment. This half-day virtual symposium will explore how AI-enabled tools, including machine learning approaches, are being used to support geologic interpretation, monitoring, hazard assessment, decision-making, uncertainty evaluation, communication, and professional workflows. The program is intended for geologists, geoscientists, engineers, and other applied professionals interested in how AI is being used responsibly and effectively in geologic practice.

Registration
Nathan R. Saraceno, P.G., is Geohazards Program Manager at GFT Infrastructure, Inc., where he supports geologic and geotechnical risk assessment, mitigation, and project delivery for Power Delivery infrastructure and other critical facilities. His work focuses on practical geohazard challenges, including landslide evaluation and remediation, slope stability, geologic mapping, subsurface characterization, and corridor-level risk assessment.
Nate’s interest in artificial intelligence is rooted in applied practice: how AI-enabled tools can improve technical communication, organize complex project information, support decision-making, and strengthen professional workflows while remaining grounded in geologic judgment. Through his role at GFT, he is involved in the responsible use of enterprise AI tools in day-to-day consulting practice. He has been active in AEG for over 20 years, including national leadership roles and service as AEG President in 2023.
4 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) Available
