## AI 摘要

Google 周四在 Google Earth 推出基于 Nano Banana 2 的 AI 图像生成功能，允许用户将任意图像叠加到真实地图上，但遭记者和研究者批评可能被滥用传播误导信息。发布仅一天后，Google 已撤下该功能，称将加强防护措施后再重新上线。

Google rolled out a new feature on Thursday that allowed users to deploy Nano Banana 2, its AI image generator, to create fabricated images inside its satellite imagery mapping app Google Earth. The whole point of this feature, Google said, was to get creative with geography.

But critics quickly pointed out that the tool could be used to create and spread misinformation. The tool, which was prompt-based and allowed pretty much any image to be superimposed over real maps, seemed like a recipe for a deluge of geospatial slop.

“There’s no way that this new AI image generation feature on Google Earth, one of the most reliable sources of visual evidence for journalists and researchers, could possibly be abused to spread misinformation online,” a BBC journalist posted sarcastically Thursday.

Now, only a day after the feature’s release, Google has scrapped it.

“We’ve seen geospatial professionals using this feature for a range of useful purposes, however we’ve also seen people sharing screenshots of generated imagery that appear to violate our policies,” the company said in a statement.

“We’re rolling back this feature in Google Earth while we work on implementing stronger guardrails,” Google added.

The criticism of Google’s tool is understandable, although it’s worth pointing out that, in the age of AI, most imagery that exists on the web can be easily manipulated. You don’t have to be a Photoshop whiz anymore to create semi-credible disinformation, you just need access to an AI image generator, which Google sells, as do many other AI firms.
