Google is accelerating the integration of AI capabilities into its Earth visualization platform. Latest news shows that Google Earth has now integrated the Gemini large model, allowing users to interact directly with Earth AI through natural language conversations, performing complex geographic reasoning tasks such as "identifying storm threats" and "analyzing communities at risk of drought."

According to reports, this upgrade is based on Google's geospatial reasoning model launched in July this year, and it combines multiple Earth AI capabilities—such as weather forecasting, satellite image analysis, and population distribution data. With the support of Gemini's reasoning, users can simply input chat commands to locate specific patterns or targets in satellite images. For example, a user can ask the system "Find algal blooms," and the AI will automatically monitor water changes that may affect drinking water safety.

Currently, this feature is only available to members of Google's "Trusted Testers Program." Testers can also upload their own data and perform joint analysis with the imagery, environmental, and population data in Google Earth's AI model, for use in risk assessment, urban planning, or disaster response scenarios.

In terms of access rights, users who subscribe to Google AI Pro and AI Ultra services in the United States will be the first to experience this Gemini chat function and enjoy higher usage limits. Google plans to fully open the Earth AI model with Gemini capabilities to subscribers of Google Earth Professional or Professional Advanced versions within the next few weeks.

Industry analysts believe this update marks Google's attempt to shift geographic space computing from "layer analysis" to "semantic conversation," bringing geographic information systems (GIS) into an AI-driven natural interaction era.
