AI Can Guess Where Photos Were Taken, Raising Privacy Concerns

McAfee Labs found that AI tools can guess where photos were taken with 87-91% accuracy by analyzing visual clues like buildings and plants, even without GPS data. Criminals could use this for targeted phishing scams. When users share vacation photos on social media, they might accidentally reveal their location. To reduce risk, experts suggest waiting until after the trip to post, limiting who can see the post, and checking for location clues in the image. Deleting metadata helps, but AI can still figure it out from the picture itself.
