Graylark's Raven lets police pinpoint a specific residence from a single indoor photo

AI Company Lets Cops Pinpoint Specific Houses Based on a Single Interior Photo

AI summary

Graylark Technologies' Raven (formerly GeoSpy) has added indoor image geolocation, letting police pinpoint a specific residence from a single indoor photo. Demo videos show the tool locating an Airbnb listing in Charlotte, North Carolina, and a Vrbo listing in Montecito, California, from photos of washing machines and bathrooms posted on social media; 404 Media found the returned results directly cited listing information from these platforms, while another example pointed to a San Francisco address and returned the same indoor photos as Zillow. Airbnb says it has no relationship with Graylark, that its terms prohibit scraping, and that it is reviewing the matter; Zillow says scraping violates its terms of use. Graylark trained its model on millions of global images; previously, MDSO said the tool had limited use and had not led to major investigative breakthroughs.

Why it was selected

The report reveals that an image geolocation tool already purchased by police can pinpoint a specific residence from a single indoor photo, and involves scraping of data from listing platforms.
