Google Earth's new AI feature allows users to fabricate completely inaccurate satellite images, potentially enabling the creation of misleading or disinformation, and can be used to manipulate digital monitoring of areas of interest. This feature, introduced by Google, can be exploited by anyone with access to the tool, raising concerns about the potential for misuse in areas like open source intelligence and disinformation campaigns. The feature can be used to create fake images of events, such as drone strikes or nuclear plants, and can be easily shared online. AI summary
