AI tool Raven helps police identify specific homes from interior photos

An AI company named Graylark Technologies has developed a tool called Raven that allows law enforcement to identify specific homes from a single interior photograph. By analyzing unique characteristics within an image, Raven can pinpoint the exact location, reportedly drawing data from sites like Zillow, Airbnb, and Vrbo. This technology, previously known as GeoSpy, is being acquired by agencies such as the Los Angeles Police Department and the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, enabling them to find leads in cases involving trafficking and exploitation by connecting unidentified rooms to specific addresses.
