A Chinese company’s publication of AI-enhanced satellite images of US bases in the Middle East is helping Iranian forces identify targets, US intelligence believes.

The ABC has been briefed on the intelligence by a source inside US defence, who says the images are endangering lives.

Chinese geospatial artificial intelligence and software company MizarVision, which the Chinese government has a small ownership stake in, has been publishing detailed satellite images with tagging data of multiple US military sites in the lead-up to, and during, the Iran war.

The imagery showcases an AI tool that identifies and tags military forces across vast areas, a capability that once required the resources of a national intelligence agency.

      Lol, no. The world is safer with less nukes. Allowing Israel to get nukes was a failure of the international community.

      Allowing Ukraine to face repurcussions for giving up their nukes was another failure.

        No. Look at DPRK

        Iran must have nukes for stability and safety of the region
