- Google Earth AI receives a series of updates powered by Gemini
- Users can now ask questions about Google Earth AI to get data quickly
- Access to Google Earth AI has also been expanded to help resolve issues.
Google has revealed a series of updates to Google Earth AI aimed at helping organizations, cities, and nonprofits react and respond to issues more quickly and effectively than ever before.
This includes new geospatial reasoning tools, which can now connect different AI models of the Earth to answer complex questions, and other AI tools powered by Gemini to answer climate questions quickly.
For example, the feature could gather data on weather forecasts, population maps and satellite images to detect potential hazards related to where a storm will make landfall and problems related to subsequent flooding.
Google Earth AI Updates
“Earth AI builds on decades of modeling the world, combined with next-generation predictive models and Gemini’s advanced reasoning, enabling businesses, cities and nonprofits to achieve deeper understanding in minutes, efforts that previously required complex analysis and years of research,” said Chris Phillips, vice president and general manager of Geo, and Yossi Matias, vice president and general manager of Google Research in a blog post announcing the news.
Initially launched in July 2025, Google Earth AI has already proven to be incredibly useful, providing crisis alerts with information from local authorities to 15 million people in the wake of the 2025 California wildfires, helping them find shelter.
The new updates will also include Gemini’s enhanced AI capabilities, allowing analysts and other users to quickly find information by asking questions about the model.
This could allow a water company to identify where a river has recently dried up, meaning local communities can be notified about the risk of dust storms, or detect where harmful algae are blooming to monitor drinking water supplies, giving authorities time to issue warnings or shut off water services.
Interested organizations can sign up now to become “Trusted Testers” on Google Cloud, giving them direct access to Earth AI’s new environmental, population, and imagery models and related tools.
Companies can also use their own data alongside Google’s own models and data sets, allowing them to address specific challenges such as environmental monitoring and disaster response.
