GeoSpy, an AI tool designed for geolocating outdoor photos, has demonstrated impressive accuracy in recent tests. When 404 Media tested the tool with an image of a man harassing a woman in a Waymo, GeoSpy correctly identified the location as San Francisco. The tool recognized the Soma Park Inn sign and the distinctive architecture of the buildings and street signs. In another test, GeoSpy accurately located grainy CCTV footage from New York City, pinpointing the site of a significant event. This AI, functioning like an automated GeoGuessr player, has been trained on millions of images, raising questions about privacy and the potential for misuse in surveillance.
