The Mosaic Effect challenges traditional notions of information sensitivity. No longer can we treat data in a vacuum; instead, we must anticipate how it will interconnect, today and tomorrow.

#OSINT
#GoogleBard now includes reverse image search capability. While still not perfect, this is a potential game-changer for #geolocation, #chronolocation, and #OSINT/#GEOINT in general (see screenshots).

btw, doesn't (yet) work as well for indoor images.
Good game plan for person searches.

An interesting take on whether #OSINT should be viewed as a distinct discipline, or merely as "an intricate form of data aggregation."

Impressive as they are, such advances in #AI image editing technologies will make the manipulation of real images (quickly and at scale) all too easy, and more difficult to detect than fully AI-generated images.
