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.

      No but generally the people that cry the hardest about communism and its threat to profit humanity are indeed fascists.

        Chinese aren’t real communists, they’re red fascists. They’ve got a more powerful oligarchy ruling class than the USA ever has.

          You fell for NED propaganda again. Please try harder. Maybe talk to a mainlander once. Visit China. Try to find any victims.

            You’re a tankie, so clearly an expert on propaganda. Whats up with that massive population decline in Xinjiang, btw?

              Can you point out when that happened? Because YoY there has only been stagnation or growth since the 1990s.

              And we all know what happened in the 1980s.
