Google Expands Access and Capabilities of Google Earth AI to Tackle Global Challenges
October 23, 2025 — Google now opens Google Earth AI to more users. The update puts smart tools in the hands of local groups, cities, companies, and nonprofits. It mixes years of world data with the quick logic of Gemini—a strong AI helper. This blend helps teams see facts and act fast when nature or human need calls.
Enhanced Geospatial Reasoning: Connecting the Big Picture
A new part of the update is Geospatial Reasoning. Gemini runs this tool. It links simple models of weather, numbers of people, and satellite views. The links join close and tell what might come next. For instance, the tool finds not just where a storm may hit but also which parts of a town may feel pain first.
Groups such as GiveDirectly use this tool. They join flood risk facts with crowd data to set aid to places hit hard. Google now asks social groups to join as Trusted Testers. More help comes to nonprofits via Google.org and free use programs.
Deeper Insights Directly Within Google Earth
Gemini now works inside Google Earth. Users ask plain questions. The tool finds clear marks in satellite images. Water firms can spot dry riverbeds. The alert helps warn towns of dust storms. Leaders can also track water blooms to keep people safe.
Soon, this test tool will work for Google Earth Professional users in the United States. More chances will come for AI Pro and Ultra members.
Bringing Earth AI Models to Google Cloud
Google now puts Earth AI models on its cloud. Trusted Testers see the new models for Imagery, Population, and Environment. Firms mix their own facts with these AI models. The mix helps teams solve issues from climate care to quick disaster fixes.
Earth AI in Action: Real-World Impact Across Sectors
Many groups work with Google on Earth AI:
- WHO AFRO: They join Earth AI’s Population and Environment models with local data. This match spots areas in Congo at high risk for cholera. The find helps target water cleaning, vaccinations, and outbreak care.
- Planet and Airbus: Planet checks old satellite views to mark forest cuts. Airbus watches plant growth near power lines to stop outages.
- Bellwether: This team uses Earth AI to warn of storms. With help for McGill and Partners, the tool speeds claim work so people start fixes sooner.
Looking Ahead
Google works to build Earth AI as a clear tool for our world. The system joins data on land and risk with the ease of language models. By joining with many partners, Google helps communities find new ways to care for public health, our climate, and fast reactions to trouble.
Groups and people who want to join can sign up as Trusted Testers or read news on Google.org.
