Google Pulls AI Feature After Two Days: Fake Satellite Images Too Realistic

Trending Topics 3 weeks ago 36

Google shut down an AI image generation feature in Google Earth after 48 hours when BBC journalists easily bypassed safety measures to create realistic fake satellite images of landmarks and locations.

Google said it needs to develop stricter safeguards before relaunching, as the fake images posed risks for disinformation and fooled AI detection tools.
