Tool rolled back after less than 24 hours
Google removes the feature following public backlash and reports of policy-violating imagery, promising to implement stronger guardrails.
Google launches AI image tool in Google Earth
The 'create image' feature integrates Nano Banana 2, allowing users to generate AI imagery on top of existing satellite and 3D data.
OSINT and defense analysts who rely on Google Earth’s unaltered satellite data faced a disinformation crisis as Google’s AI image generation feature threatened to poison trusted geospatial intelligence. The tool was pulled within 24 hours after generating fake satellite imagery that violated policies, underscoring the fragility of truth in the satellite imagery domain.
AI developers saw a stark lesson when Google’s Nano Banana 2-powered image generator in Google Earth was retracted after a single day, as users immediately created policy-violating imagery despite built-in SynthID watermarks. The rollout and swift retraction spotlight the limits of technical safeguards when deploying generative models into trusted public platforms.
