🌍 When Satellite Images Lie: The Rise of Space DeepfakesDeepfakes are no longer just fake celebrity videos - they’re moving into orbit. AI can now generate or manipulate satellite images, potentially fabricating disasters, military sites, or climate events. In a world that relies on satellite data for journalism, science, and security, that’s a serious threat. Shoaib Burq, AI Researcher Project Lead at Verisat AI explains how they can detect hidden “fingerprints” left by generative models. Backed by the European Space Agency, the project is building tools to help governments and media separate real imagery from artificial deception - before misinformation spreads. 🗣️ African Languages Go Digital: The App Reclaiming Identity Through TechEsther Imogu, Founder CEO, NaijaTeach Technology, is preserving and teaching African languages using an app. NaijaTeach helps users learn African languages like Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, and Pidgin with accurate pronunciation, cultural context, and interactive lessons designed for both children and adults. Built with native educators rather than automated translations, the platform supports tonal learning and real-life usage. With plans to expand into Arabic, NaijaTeach is part of a growing movement using tech to strengthen identity, heritage, and connection. The programme is presented by Ania Lichtarowicz. SUBSCRIBE HERE: https://somewhere-on-earth-the-global-tech-podcast-the-podextra-edition.pod.fan/ Production manager: Liz TuohyEditor: Ania Lichtarowicz Somewhere on Earth Productions UK Ltd.
