Google elimină din Google Earth un nou instrument de imagini satelitare generate de inteligență artificială în urma criticilor privind riscul de dezinformare

Google has decided to remove a new feature from Google Earth that allowed users to generate satellite images using AI due to concerns over misinformation. The company cited rule violations as a reason for this decision, noting that while some professionals used the tool for beneficial purposes, others misused it. The feature, which was implemented just a day prior, enabled users to create artificial images quickly from satellite data. Critics warned that this could lead to the creation of highly realistic false geographic content. Despite initial claims of safeguards, tests showed that the tool could still produce harmful false images. Various groups had urged Google to eliminate the feature, emphasizing the potential damage to trust in satellite imagery.
