  1. “A powerful AI tool can predict with high accuracy the location of photos based on features inside the image itself—such as vegetation, architecture, and the distance between buildings—in seconds, with the company now marketing the tool to law enforcement officers and government agencies.

    Called GeoSpy, the tool has also been used for months by members of the public, with many making videos marveling at the technology, and some asking for help with stalking specific women. The company’s founder has aggressively pushed back against such requests, and GeoSpy closed off public access to the tool after 404 Media contacted him for comment.

    Now users have to request access, which is “available exclusively to qualified law enforcement agencies, enterprise users and government entities,” its website now reads. That law enforcement-version of GeoSpy is more powerful than what was publicly available.”
