  In the last years we have witnessed the fields of geosciences and remote
sensing and artificial intelligence to become closer. Thanks to both the
massive availability of observational data, improved simulations, and
algorithmic advances, these disciplines have found common objectives and
challenges to advance the modeling and understanding of the Earth system.
Despite such great opportunities, we also observed a worrying tendency to
remain in disciplinary comfort zones applying recent advances from artificial
intelligence on well resolved remote sensing problems. Here we take a position
on research directions where we think the interface between these fields will
have the most impact and become potential game changers. In our declared agenda
for AI on Earth sciences, we aim to inspire researchers, especially the younger
generations, to tackle these challenges for a real advance of remote sensing
and the geosciences.
