AI Is Scarily Good at Guessing the Location of Random Photos
Wow:
To test PIGEON’s performance, I gave it five personal photos from a trip I took across America years ago, none of which have been published online. Some photos were snapped in cities, but a few were taken in places nowhere near roads or other easily recognizable landmarks.
That didn’t seem to matter much.
It guessed a campsite in Yellowstone to within around 35 miles of the actual location. The program placed another photo, taken on a street in San Francisco, to within a few city blocks.
Not every photo was an easy match: The program mistakenly linked one photo taken on the front range of Wyoming to a spot along the front range of Colorado, more than a hundred miles away. And it guessed that a picture of the Snake River Canyon in Idaho was of the Kawarau Gorge in New Zealand (in fairness, the two landscapes look remarkably similar)…

Analysing Data Breaches Caused by Human Error
A deep dive into the ICO’s numbers We often hear the terms ‘accidental breach’ and ‘internal threat’, but how common are these phenomena? To find out, we looked at the ICO’s (Information Commissioner’s Office) public data set, specifically looking into four data breach types caused by human error: Note that this data set only accounts for personal data breaches reported to the ICO, so it only reflects breaches affecting UK residents that were not just discovered, but also reported. Also note that this blog only accounts for the data from 2020–2022, because these are the only years the ICO has
