- Google Earth AI is getting a series of Gemini-powered upgrades
- Users can now ask Google Earth AI questions to quickly find out data
- Access to Google Earth AI has also been expanded to help solve problems
Google has unveiled a slew of updates to Google Earth AI as it looks to help organizations, cities, and nonprofits alike react and respond to problems faster and more efficiently than ever before.
This includes new geospatial reasoning tools that can now connect different Earth AI models to answer complex questions, and other Gemini-powered AI tools to quickly answer climate questions.
For example, the feature can gather data on weather forecasts, population maps and satellite imagery to spot potential hazards associated with where a storm will make landfall and problems associated with subsequent flooding.
Google Earth AI updates
“Earth AI is built on decades of modeling the world, combined with advanced predictive models and Gemini’s advanced reasoning, letting businesses, cities and nonprofits gain a deeper understanding in minutes—efforts that previously required complex analytics and years of research,” noted Chris Phillips, VP & GM, Geo, and Yossi Matia’s blog, a new Google Research, VP & ounc.
Originally launched in July 2025, Google Earth AI has already proven incredibly helpful, providing emergency alerts with information from local authorities to 15 million people following the 2025 California wildfires, helping them find shelter.
The new upgrades will also include boosted Gemini AI capabilities, allowing analysts and other users to quickly find out information by asking questions of the model.
This could enable a water company to identify where a river has recently dried up, meaning communities could be notified of the risk of dust storms or a location where harmful algae blooms are occurring to monitor drinking water supplies, giving authorities time to issue warnings or shut down waterworks.
Interested organizations can sign up now to become “Trusted Testers” on Google Cloud, giving them direct access to the new Earth AI Imagery, Population and Environment models and their related tools.
Companies can also use their own data alongside Google’s own models and datasets to tackle specific challenges such as environmental monitoring and disaster preparedness.
