Google temporarily disabled an AI feature in Google Earth after users generated misleading and harmful imagery, such as fake nuclear plants and disaster scenes. The company is currently working on improved safety guardrails.
On Thursday, Google released a new AI feature that allowed anyone to create fake images in Google Earth. Naturally, people used the AI to put a fake nuclear plant in Iran and show a plane crashing into One World Trade Center in New York. After massive online backlash, the tech giant killed the feature on Friday.
