Google Earth’s State-of-the-Art Geospatial AI Models

Google has just launched Google Earth AI, a new suite of geospatial AI models and datasets designed to help solve some of the planet’s biggest challenges.

From disaster risk and climate forecasting to urban planning and public health, Earth AI helps turn satellite data into real-world insights.

These models are already behind tools used by millions, like flood and wildfire alerts in Search and Maps. Now, through platforms like Google Earth, Google Maps Platform and Google Cloud, they’re available to organisations looking to build smarter, more resilient solutions.

Google Earth AI includes:

• Flood and wildfire prediction.

• High-resolution weather forecasting.

• Urban growth and population insights.

• Environmental monitoring (land cover, water, deforestation)

Also launched is AlphaEarth Foundations, which provides detailed surface analysis using AI and satellite data. This tool is ideal for climate, infrastructure, and sustainability work.

Why It Matters for Africa

From planning around flood zones to choosing where to invest in infrastructure, these tools open new possibilities for data-informed decision-making in African cities, industries, and communities.

At 28East, we help local teams make the most of these tools, connecting global innovation to local impact.
