In this episode, we take you on a fascinating journey into the world of AI and geography with a twist: artificial intelligence models playing GeoGuessr. From AI powerhouses like Pigeon and Pidgeotto, we explore how these systems are redefining geolocation. Discover how AI uses cutting-edge techniques like semantic geocells and attention attribution maps to think like a human geographer, analyzing landscapes with unparalleled precision.

We dive into how these models outperform top human players and tackle diverse challenges, from dense forests to blurred images. But it doesn’t stop there—learn how these breakthroughs in visual geolocation have real-world implications for autonomous driving, search and rescue missions, climate research, and beyond.

Join us for a deep dive into how AI is not just playing games but shaping the future of how we navigate and understand our world. What’s next for AI? Could it master other human skills? Listen in to find out!
