In this interview with Michael Mayer and Theresa Gresch on the Behind the Bots podcast, we learn about their open source photo management application called PhotoPrism. PhotoPrism uses artificial intelligence to automatically tag and organize your personal photo library. It can detect objects and faces in your images to make them easily searchable. With a focus on privacy, PhotoPrism runs locally so your photos never have to leave your own computer. 

Michael and Theresa discuss how they got started with the project to apply their backgrounds in physics and biology to artificial intelligence. They share some of PhotoPrism's key features like facial recognition, location mapping, duplicate detection, and more. We also learn about how PhotoPrism handles video files, the challenges of working with constantly evolving formats, and their future goals like simplifying the setup process. Michael provides his perspective on the exponential growth of generative AI and ethics around synthetic media. Overall, an insightful look into an AI-powered tool that can help you gain control over your personal photo collection.
