A new benchmark called KoreaGEO has been developed to evaluate the privacy risks associated with multimodal vision-language models (VLMs) used for geolocation. This benchmark, built on Korean street views, offers fine-grained spatial data and simulates real-world privacy exposure through different captioning styles. Researchers found that the input modality, particularly high-risk captions, significantly impacts localization accuracy and privacy exposure, more so than model scale or architecture, and identified biases towards core cities in predictions.
