National Surveyors Week is here, and the future of surveying has never been more important. From AI overreach to deregulation and public misconceptions, surveyors are facing challenges that will define the profession for generations. This five-day, 15-article series dives deep into these critical issues, offering clear strategies to protect licensure, advocate for the profession, and reclaim control of geospatial data. Now is the time to engage, educate, and lead—explore the full series and be part of the movement to secure the future of surveying.
Monday: AI, Automation, and the Delusion of Effortless Accuracy
AI and automation promise to revolutionize surveying, but are they delivering accuracy—or just hype? This three-part series explores the truth behind AI in surveying, its limitations, and the growing battle over who controls geospatial data.
🔹 The Hype vs. Reality of AI in Surveying: Why Tech Companies Keep Getting It Wrong
AI is often marketed as a game-changer for surveying, but the reality is far more complicated. This article explores the biggest AI failures in geospatial work and why human expertise remains irreplaceable.
🔹 How AI Will Change (Not Replace) the Surveying Profession
AI isn’t here to replace surveyors, but it is changing the profession. Learn how to leverage AI-driven tools effectively while maintaining the professional judgment that automation lacks.
🔹 Surveyors vs. The Algorithm: Who Controls the Future of Mapping?
The biggest threat isn’t AI itself—it’s who controls it. Big Tech companies are reshaping geospatial data ownership, but surveyors must take a stand to ensure accuracy and professional oversight remain priorities.
Tuesday: The NOAA Disaster – What Happens When the Sky (Literally) Falls?
Few people realize how crucial NOAA is to modern surveying. This three-article series unpacks the agency’s role, what happens if it loses funding, and why surveyors must advocate for its survival.
🔹 Why NOAA Is The Most Important Agency You’ve Never Thought About
NOAA quietly keeps surveying accurate through GPS corrections, tide gauges, and geodetic infrastructure. Without it, modern geospatial work would collapse. Learn why NOAA is indispensable to your profession.
🔹 What Happens to Surveying If NOAA Loses Funding?
If NOAA funding disappears, surveyors will lose access to critical tools like CORS and the National Spatial Reference System. Explore the cascading effects on boundary accuracy, infrastructure, and the profession itself.
🔹 The Fight to Save NOAA: How Surveyors Can Advocate for Their Own Future
NOAA is under constant funding threats, and surveyors must lead the charge to protect it. This article lays out practical steps to educate lawmakers, advocate for funding, and ensure NOAA’s future.
Wednesday: Licensure Under Siege – The Quiet War Against Professionalism
Surveying licensure isn’t just under threat—it’s actively being dismantled. This three-article series reveals who’s behind the push for deregulation and what surveyors can do to fight back.
🔹 The Push to Kill Surveying Licensure: Who’s Behind It and Why?
Deregulation advocates claim licensure is unnecessary, but removing it opens the floodgates to unqualified operators. Discover the industries pushing for deregulation—and why they don’t have surveyors’ best interests in mind.
🔹 When Licensure Disappears, So Does Accuracy (And Public Trust)
Surveying isn’t just about measurement—it’s about accountability. Without licensure, boundary disputes, infrastructure failures, and legal battles will skyrocket. Learn why professional standards are non-negotiable.
🔹 The Path Forward: How Surveyors Can Defend Professional Standards
It’s not too late to stop deregulation—but surveyors must act now. This article outlines a clear strategy for advocacy, public education, and professional unity to preserve licensure and public trust.
Thursday: The Vanishing Surveyor – If We Don’t Pass Down Knowledge, AI Will Own the Future
The biggest threat to surveying isn’t just AI or deregulation—it’s the failure to pass down knowledge. This series highlights why mentorship and education are the profession’s best defense.
🔹 The Generational Knowledge Gap: Where Are the Next Surveyors?
Surveying is facing a demographic crisis, with more professionals retiring than entering the field. What happens when decades of expertise vanish without replacement?
🔹 Who Owns Surveying Data? The Corporate Battle Over Knowledge
Surveyors generate billions of dollars in geospatial data—but Big Tech is monetizing it without compensation. This article examines how surveyors can reclaim control of their intellectual property.
🔹 How to Build the Future of Surveying Through Education
Surveyors must actively train and mentor the next generation, or risk being replaced by underqualified technicians. Discover how platforms like LEARN can help preserve and pass on critical expertise.
Friday: The War for Reality – Why Surveyors Must Defend Their Place in Society
Surveyors are the last line of defense in an increasingly digitized world. This series explores the urgent need for advocacy, public education, and professional leadership.
🔹 Surveyors: The Last Defenders of Ground Truth in a Virtual World
If surveyors don’t fight for reality, Big Tech will define it—and they’ll get it wrong. Learn why professional oversight is critical as AI-driven mapping takes over.
🔹 The Public Perception Problem: Why No One Knows What Surveyors Do
Most people have no idea what surveyors actually do, and that ignorance is hurting the profession. Here’s how surveyors can educate the public and reshape their image.
🔹 The Call to Action: How Surveyors Must Organize, Educate, and Lead
The future of surveying depends on leadership. If surveyors don’t advocate for their profession, others will redefine it—without them. This article lays out a path forward for professional unity and action.
