Google Photos

A Facebook outage yesterday revealed the text tags associated to photos, scaring some users with how accurately their photos were described. Facebook uses tagging to allow visually impaired users to “see” photos on the site, but what isn’t clear is if this information is sold to advertisers. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is used widely across phone and social media technology, from portrait mode on your iPhone to being able to search your Google photos for pictures of your cat.

This is seriously cool.
