Researchers demonstrate how AI software based on generative adversarial networks can be used to create deepfake satellite images
Geographic deepfakes could be used for misinformation and much more — When we think of deepfakes, we tend to imagine AI-generated people. Source: Taylor & Francis .

When geospatial data encounter Artificial Intelligence Tweets: Nick Howes / @nickastronomer : Very interesting and disturbing report https://www.theverge.com/... Dr. Jeffrey Lewis / @armscontrolwonk : +1. The bridge example is especially stupid — why would one rely on a single image of questionable provenance for mapping crucial terrain features? https://twitter.com/... Dr. Jenna Jambeck / @jambeckresearch : As we refine satellite imagery for science, including plastic pollution, this becomes an issue: Deepfake satellite imagery poses a not-so-distant threat, warn geographers https://www.theverge.com/... @hareldan : Ok, what's the lede? Deep fake imagery is only relevant when you don't have the source to compare to, but since everyone is using the same sources, and Maxar/Planet/Airbus want to sell same image as many times as they can, anyone caught “faking” will be outed pretty fast. https://twitter.com/...
