Google's New Earth AI Doesn't Just Forecast Storms. It Can Predict Who's in the Path

Google Earth’s Gemini AI chatbot uses satellite and population data to predict disasters and identify vulnerable communities, aiding climate change monitoring and response.

  • On Thursday, Google said it is expanding Google Earth by pairing its Gemini AI model with weather, population, and satellite data, limiting new chatbot features to professional subscription plans introduced this month.
  • AlphaEarth Foundations was built to turn satellite data into layers that help Google Earth AI better map disasters and identify communities and ecosystems at risk.
  • Geospatial reasoning now lets Gemini connect weather forecasts, population maps and imagery so users can ask natural-language queries like 'find algae blooms' or 'show where rivers have recently dried up'.
  • In the coming weeks, Google will open access to US users with professional or Professional Advanced plans, while Trusted Testers and organizations like the World Health Organization's Africa office are already testing forecasts and damage prediction.
  • These upgrades build on tools that already include flood forecasting covering more than 2 billion people, while Google says embedding Gemini helps responders anticipate needs proactively despite AI energy demands.
