Google nixes its Earth AI feature one day after launch, amid criticism it would spread misinformation

# Google Shuts Down Earth AI Feature After One Day Google launched and immediately pulled a new tool that let people create fake images and place them on Google Earth maps, after people pointed out it could easily spread false information about real locations. The feature raised concerns that someone could use it to create misleading pictures—like fake disasters or altered buildings—that would appear authentic to viewers. Google decided the risks of misinformation outweighed the tool's usefulness and took it down.
