How can geoscientists harness AI without compromising security, technical quality or human judgement?
In this episode of The Geoscience Channel, host Myrna Staring speaks with Ashley Russell, who leads subsurface data science and analytics at Equinor.
They explore responsible AI adoption, organisational change, data security, hallucination control, institutional knowledge, agentic workflows and the importance of common data standards.
Will AI replace geoscientists—or make their expertise even more valuable? Listen to the episode to discover why human judgement, geological insight and collaboration remain essential as AI reshapes the subsurface industry.
