Abstract:

The multidimensional development of Earth’s complex giant system research continues to drive the breakthrough innovation of geoscientific research methods. As an emerging research tool, generative AI technology provides new ideas for geoscientific research by virtue of its powerful data processing and knowledge reasoning capabilities. In this paper, we systematically sort out the development of generative AI technology, compare the technical routes of ChatGPT and the domestic DeepSeek model, and show the advantages of generative AI technology’s powerful natural language processing capability and multimodal model construction. This paper summarizes in detail the application of generative AI technology in geosciences, especially the current status and development trend of its application in the field of resource exploration. Generative AI technology has realized the universal integration of heterogeneous data from multiple sources in the field of geosciences, and has been deeply involved in various stages of work in the field of resource exploration and provided technical support at the levels of data integration, cognitive reasoning, application services, etc., which has set off a wave of innovation in the field of resource exploration. At present, generative AI technology in the field of geoscience applications still exists in data completeness defects, geological complex system challenges, geological model interpretability problems and other core constraints. Comprehensive analysis points out that generative AI reconstructs the technical system of “data perception-knowledge refinement-decision generation”, which will certainly accelerate the realization of breakthroughs in the application of this technology in the fields of Earth science, and provide important technical support for the innovation of exploration technology and methodology, improvement of exploration efficiency, and assisting the new round of strategic action of finding mineral breakthroughs to safeguard the country’s energy security.
