Early on in the U.S.-Israel war with Iran, for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/live\/cvg3qzx512nt?post=asset%3Aa148229b-605b-48d9-a0c8-d156bda8c9a6#post\" target=\"_blank\">fake images circulated<\/a> of a damaged U.S. base in Bahrain.

Moreover, governments will now be more likely to claim satellite images are fake, even if they are real, undermining public trust.<\/p>\n<p>In an <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/newsfromgoogle\/status\/2083025180125802635?s=46\" target=\"_blank\">posting on X<\/a> on Thursday, the company said it &#8220;takes misinformation seriously.&#8221; The company noted that all images are marked with its SynthID watermark, which ensures it will be flagged as AI-generated in other Google tools such as Gemini. &#8220;In addition, we prevent image creation on harmful topics and are continually updating our protections,&#8221; it said.<\/p>\n<p>But few in the open source community seemed reassured by Google&#8217;s statements. For van Ess, the decision particularly stings because Google Earth has long been regarded as one of the best tools to verify information posted on social media.<\/p>\n<p>If Google continues to develop the AI tool, he said,  it would mean that &#8220;the fake is made inside the thing people use to check whether pictures are true.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tags\">\n<ul>\n<li><a class=\"tag tag--story\" href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/tags\/133775819\/artificial-intelligence\">Artificial Intelligence<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"tag tag--story\" href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/tags\/467133752\/satellite-imagery\">satellite imagery<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"tag tag--story\" href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/tags\/1007488229\/deepfakes\">Deepfakes<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- END CLASS=\"TAGS\" --><\/p>\n<div class=\"share-tools share-tools--secondary\" aria-label=\"Share tools\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"share-tools__service share-tools__service--facebook\"><button class=\"fbStorynx-s1-5914652\" data-share-facebook='{\"storyId\": \"nx-s1-5914652\" }' data-metrics-ga4='{\"category\":\"share\",\"action\":\"share\",\"clickName\":\"facebook\"}'><b class=\"share-tools__service-name\">Facebook<\/b><\/button><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-tools__service share-tools__service--flipboard\"><button class=\"storynx-s1-5914652\" data-share-flipboard='{\"storyId\": \"nx-s1-5914652\" }' data-metrics-ga4='{\"category\":\"share\",\"action\":\"share\",\"clickName\":\"flipboard\"}'><b class=\"share-tools__service-name\">Flipboard<\/b><\/button><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-tools__service share-tools__service--email\"><button class=\"share-tools__email-link\" data-story-id=\"nx-s1-5914652\" data-metrics-ga4='{\"category\":\"share\",\"action\":\"share\",\"clickName\":\"email\"}'><b class=\"share-tools__service-name\">Email<\/b><\/button><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- END CLASS=\"SHARE-TOOLS SHARE-TOOLS-SECONDARY\" ARIA-LABEL=\"SHARE TOOLS\" --><br \/>\n<!-- END ID=\"NEWSLETTER-ACQUISITION-CALLOUT-DATA\" DATA-NEWSLETTER=\"{&amp;QUOT;NEWSLETTERID&amp;QUOT;:&amp;QUOT;NEWS&amp;QUOT;,&amp;QUOT;TITLE&amp;QUOT;:&amp;QUOT;UP FIRST&amp;QUOT;,&amp;QUOT;MARKETINGHEADER&amp;QUOT;:&amp;QUOT;SIGN UP FOR NPR&#039;S UP FIRST NEWSLETTER&amp;QUOT;,&amp;QUOT;FREQUENCY&amp;QUOT;:&amp;QUOT;EVERY DAY&amp;QUOT;,&amp;QUOT;SHORTDESCRIPTION&amp;QUOT;:&amp;QUOT;THE STORIES YOU NEED TO START YOUR DAY, HAND-PICKED FOR YOU EVERY WEEKDAY.
