Fake AI satellite imagery spurs US-Iran war disinformationThe rise of generative AI has turbocharged the ability to fabricate convincing satellite imagery that can be exploited during conflicts. afpWASHINGTON - The satellite image posted by an Iranian news outlet looked real: a devastated US base in Qatar. But it was an AI-generated fake, underscoring the accelerating threat of tech-enabled disinformation during wartime. Reports of fake satellite imagery created or edited using AI also followed the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the four-day war between India and Pakistan last year. The company's own satellite imagery helped confirm that the photos were fake, almost certainly generated using AI, Vantor's Tomi Maxted told AFP.
