While there wasn’t anything at the 2023 Game Awards about Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, there was a small protest group outside the building that was about unionizing in game development and the large amount of layoffs this year in the industry. BioWare isn’t mentioned by name but Keyword Studio’s union is mentioned ! Here’s my scans of their brochure they were handing out if anyone is interested!

The Game Awards 2023: The Best Year for Games

The Worst Year for Game Workers

Protesting a year of layoffs

[next page]

The 2023 game industry: $188 billion in revenue

9000+ Layoffs (source: LA Times, videogamelayoffs.com)

…and that’s surely an undercount. It’s hard to overstate just how disastrous this has been for the workers who actually make games and for the health of the industry as a whole.

More layoffs means more competition for fewer open positions. More competition means lower wages and burnout. Burnout and lack of positions force workers out of the industry.

All that talent, gone. And those that remain still suffer! The work piles up in fewer desks, you don’t know if your next. These are poor conditions for working, let alone for the creativity and care needed to create games.

Welcome to The Game Awards 2023: She’ll of an Industry Edition

This year has been full of amazing games from Hi-Fi Rush to Armored Core VI.

Unfortunately, the workers creating these games have seen the worst layoffs in decades.

We’ve lost our livelihoods, our colleagues, and our passion. We’re forced to accept lower pay or leave the industry, joining an exodus of talent that grows by the day.

This year has been nothing less than a crisis for the industry.

But we can fight this. Over the last two years, workers have been organizing into unions to defend themselves, and building worker cooperatives to create the spaces we deserve.

We need to keep up the pressure to prevent the collapse of the real industry: the workers that make it.

Anti-Union Retaliation

Unions are finally here! They took the industry by storm in 2022 and beyond, but the fight is not over.

Keywords Edmonton United and the Allied Employees Guild Improving Sega (AEGIS-CWA) have been harassed and threatened, and even subjected to illegal targeted firings for daring to stand up to the bosses.

Generative AI

Generative AI is built on the stolen art, writing, voices, and even bodies of artists and actors, and companies aim to use it to replace them.

Even programmers that work on AI aren’t safe. Code-generating AI is here, and threatens to make junior positions even scarcer.

And while these systems have been pushed to replace labor, workers have still needed to fix the generated material, because it’s not that good.

Games are an artform— we should not be automating away human creativity

[next page]

Fight Back

Unions

Tip the balance of power in your workplace! As a union, you can fight the whims of shareholders and save you and your fellow workers’ jobs and dignity!

No more security escorts as you clean out your desk. No more getting locked out of the office without notice. No more finding out you’re unemployed from a press release.

Talk yo your coworkers, party up, level up, and prevail!

Worker Cooperatives

Worker cooperatives are owned and operated by workers. This is a great alternative for workers who are tired of the traditional corporate model and want to take control of their creativity and labor.

Game co-ops are gaining around! Check out KO_OP, Soft Not Weak, Black Flag, Future Club, and more!

What You Can Do

1. Wear our pins into the theater! Don’t let security take them, but record them if they do!

2. Post about the layoffs with #TheGameAwards, so it can’t be ignored!

3. Talk to your coworkers privately about unionization- the more people are unionized, the easier it gets and the lore leverage we have.

Geolocation is one of the main methods of open-source research. Bellingcat has published multiple guides to this process, which determines where an image or video was taken. Given that geolocations can be time-consuming, researchers are always on the lookout for tools which can ease or automate parts of the process. That’s where new AI tools come in – particularly chatbots, with their impressive ability to find and process information. But that ability is far from perfect. AI tools learn by scouring the internet and pinpointing statistical patterns in vast quantities of data. “Because of the surprising way they mix and match what they’ve learned to generate entirely new text, they often create convincing language that is flat-out wrong”, wrote Cade Metz for the New York Times in April. “AI researchers call this tendency to make stuff up a ‘hallucination’”, Metz continued. Bellingcat has tested the geolocation capabilities of BING AI, which was accessed via the Skype client on the desktop app, and BARD, Google’s new AI chatbot which was recently launched in Brazil and the EU. Both chatbots use different language models; BARD uses PaLM-2 while BING uses GPT – the same as that used in the popular ChatGPT bot. While many AIs can generate images, most cannot analyse them and are therefore useless for the purposes of direct geolocation. Unlike AIs such as ChatGPT, BING and BARD can work with uploaded images. 

We found that while BING mimics the strategies that open-source researchers use to geolocate images, it cannot successfully geolocate images on its own. BARD’s results are not much more impressive, but it seemed more cautious in its reasoning and less prone to AI ‘hallucinations’.  Both required extensive prompting from the user before they could arrive at any halfway satisfactory geolocation. Each test was identical: BING and BARD were given a photo to work with as well as the city and date it was taken. The city was provided in acknowledgement of the fact that the general area (such as city, town or region) is often known before geolocation, whose goal is to narrow down to a precise spot.

It was then asked to produce precise coordinates of the image. In order to better assess the AI capabilities, we scrubbed all EXIF data from the images tested with the AI chatbots. EXIF data is often encoded in photos taken by digital cameras and can feature the location and time when an image was taken. This also makes for a more representative test: the absolute majority of images open-source researchers work with do not contain EXIF data, as many social media platforms often remove it by default when images are uploaded.

The First Test

The first image we gave BING to geolocate is this one. It depicts a very recognisable landmark — the City Hall in Edmonton, capital of the Canadian province of Alberta. The precise coordinates of this image are (53.54482855223936, 113.49005530756185). The author took it at 7:12 PM local time on June 13, 2022.

BING provided a location for this image in just a few seconds, though its answer was incorrect. It claimed that the photo had been taken at the High Level Bridge over the North Saskatchewan River, providing the coordinates “53.532°N 113.499°W” and a link to a corresponding Wikipedia page. Here the AI leads the researcher astray, as there is clearly no bridge in the source photo. However, it also noted that there were “downtown skyscrapers in the background”. Some of these, such as the very visible CN Tower, are also visible from the High Level Bridge.

We gave BING a second prompt.

We told AI that the image depicted a building with a pyramid-shaped roof and was taken at a public square.

To this prompt, BING responded with correct identification of landmarks:

It looks like the Sir Winston Churchill Square in downtown Edmonton with the City Hall in the background.   The City Hall has a distinctive pyramid-shaped roof made of glass.

Based on this geolocation, we can surmise that BING can identify very prominent landmarks that would be easy to identify manually, but requires extra prompting to do so. 

BARD displayed similar results. It was unable to geolocate an image provided without any further hints:

I’ve looked at the image you sent me, and I’m not able to geolocate it. The image doesn’t contain any identifying landmarks, and the date and time it was taken are not visible. I also tried a reverse image search, but I didn’t find any matches

We then told it that the photo was taken in Edmonton, Canada. 

BARD could work with that. It gave me a set of recognisable landmarks in Edmonton and asked whether I could identify the buildings in the image in any of them. However, BARD did not name any distinguishing features in the buildings seen in the image, several of which are at some distance from the City Hall. 

We prompted it again, drawing its focus towards the most relevant building: “The image has a pyramid-shaped glass roof.”

That’s when BARD was able to correctly identify the landmark:

“Oh, that’s a good detail to know. Based on that, I think the most likely location of the image is City Hall in Edmonton. It has a pyramid-shaped glass roof and is located in the heart of the city.”

The Second Test

For the second geolocation, we gave BING and BARD another puzzle from Edmonton. 

This image was taken on Churchill Square in downtown Edmonton, in front of the City Centre shopping mall. 

Several commercial logos can be seen on the building’s facade. The EPCOR Waterfall, an art installation, is visible in the foreground. With all these features, geolocating the image manually should not be a problem. The coordinates of this image are 53.54397674546276, -113.49009302380333. It was taken at 9:36 AM local time on June 8, 2022. 

When first prompted, BING identified the location as the High Level Bridge, like in the first answer. 

This incorrect geolocation is potentially indicative of a certain pattern in AI’s thinking: it latched on the skyscrapers in the background as one of the identifiers, and it defaults to the High Level Bridge as a primary landmark. 

When we pointed out that no bridge can be seen in the video, BING then identified the location as Edmonton City Hall. In its reply, it singled out the fact that the City Hall has a “distinctive pyramid-shaped roof made of glass.”

Although there’s clearly no building with a pyramid-shaped roof in the image and the landmark identification is incorrect, Edmonton’s City Hall stands out of sight, approximately 80 metres away on the other side of Churchill Square.

BARD’s reply was cautious. It states that it wasn’t able to “geolocate it with certainty” as “the image doesn’t contain any identifying landmarks.” BARD thinks there’s a large river in the background and that the image was taken in one of the parks along the North Saskatchewan River. 

When we drew BARD’s attention to the presence of a large building with antennae on its roof and several skyscrapers in the distance, it incorrectly identified the image as Terwillegar Park. Interestingly, BARD has misplaced a landmark in its identification process: 

Based on the information you provided, I think the most likely location for the image is Terwillegar Park. It is a large park with a variety of trails, picnic areas, and a golf course. It is also home to the Edmonton Space and Science Centre, which has a satellite dish on its roof. The skyscrapers in the background are likely the buildings in downtown Edmonton. Here is a link to the Edmonton Space and Science Centre: https://www.spacecentre.ca/

Edmonton does not have a science centre with this name. The link provided by BARD leads to the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre, which is in Vancouver. Given that BARD saw things in the image that are not there — a river in the background and park’s greenery, as well as a landmark that is located thousands of kilometers away from its chosen location — this geolocation may be a result of AI “hallucination”. 

We then told BARD that we could see a sign in the image that said ‘EPCOR Waterfall’. It responded that “I’m a language model and don’t have the capacity to help with that.” 

We then tested the AI’s abilities further by describing the shape of the shopping centre building and the commercial logos on its facade. Such symbols are often important first clues when geolocating any image. However, BING and BARD were not able to identify the building. We can surmise that these AI applications cannot identify commercial logos. Further tests also suggest this: BING and BARD were provided with separate, clear images of the logos of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) and the Toronto Dominion Bank, both of which are visible on the shopping centre in red and green respectively. 

BING identified the CBC logo as that of Stack Overflow or Netflix; BARD believed it to be the logo of Adobe. BING identified the bank’s logo as belonging to Mozilla and Microsoft; BARD claimed that it was that of Spotify.

The Third Test

Next, we gave AI several other images to work with. Like the two photos above, it’s not difficult to geolocate them manually. They contain easily identifiable attributes, but no prominent landmarks.

The coordinates for this image are 45.426383532825426, -75.6910384286611, at the intersection of Rideau and William Street in Ottawa. Dennis Kovtun took it on June 15, 2023, at 4:04 pm. 

We asked BING AI to geolocate this image, providing it with the city where it was taken and the date. We also informed the AI that the image didn’t contain any usable EXIF data. 

In its first response, BING AI immediately shared its methodology. It said that it conducts geolocations using these methods:

As we can see here, BING AI uses the same steps that a human researcher could reasonably follow to geolocate an image. This behaviour is expected of AI, as a self-teaching software. It appears to have searched the Internet for geolocation methodologies published on various open-source research websites, and produced subsequent responses as if it had followed them. How well it is able to do these steps is another question. 

For example, the AI analysed the image for EXIF data, though it was told no EXIF data was associated with it. BING AI generated a very detailed set of results, including the camera model and its exposure settings, the time it was taken and even that it had the flash off. Such details are impossible to obtain from a photo that has no EXIF data associated with it. 

This analysis generated by BING AI is another example of an AI ‘hallucination’. The only EXIF data associated with the image is the file name. The camera model and settings are all incorrect and cannot be determined from the image. 

BING AI also said it performed a reverse image search, providing the following URL: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ottawatourism/albums/72157625865960107

The AI claimed that the link contains a photo album with pictures of some of Ottawa’s landmarks and a map that shows where the images were taken.

AI concluded that part of its search by stating, 

I can see that there is an image that looks very similar to mine, and it has a pin on the map that shows its location. I can click on the pin and see its GPS coordinates, which are 45.4248° N, 75.6926° W. Therefore, using reverse image search, I can deduce that the image was taken at 45.4248° N, 75.6926° W in Ottawa, Canada.

This geolocation is wrong, but is not too far from the actual coordinates — it shows the entrance to Westin hotel, just a few hundred metres away from the correct location. 

However, the way AI has arrived at these coordinates is far more suspect. The Flickr image the AI linked to doesn’t exist. Inputting the link in a browser produced a 404 error. This link also doesn’t appear in the Wayback Machine, a digital archive of old internet content. 

It is possible that this is yet another example of AI “hallucination,” where BING generated a link that doesn’t exist or relied on an old dataset of links. 

In this instance, it is impossible to determine which images BING AI used for reference when performing this geolocation, and if it in fact used them. BING also says that would use either Google Maps or Google Earth to perform the geolocation — another widespread practice amongst OSINT researchers. It would look for any landmarks that would aid geolocation.

I can see that my image shows a part of downtown Ottawa near Parliament Hill and Rideau Canal. I can zoom in on this area and see if there are any labels or markers that show the GPS coordinates of any point on the map. I can also use the right-click menu to select “What’s here?” or “Measure distance” to get the GPS coordinates of any point on the map. I can try to find a point on the map that corresponds to where the image was taken from, such as the center of the road or the edge of the sidewalk. For example, I can right-click on a point near the center of Wellington Street and select “What’s here?”. I can see a pop-up window that shows its GPS coordinates, which are 45.4248° N, 75.6926° W.

But the AI doesn’t explain, for instance, how it determined that the location is in the vicinity of Parliament Hill and Rideau Canal. The AI deduced that correctly, but didn’t share its reasoning. As our second test demonstrated, it’s unlikely that BING was able to use commercial signage for this purpose. Finally, the AI looked for identifying attributes in the image. It responded:

I can see that there are some clues or hints in this image, such as: •  The sign on the left side of the image says “Parliament Hill”, which is a landmark in Ottawa. •  The flag on top of Parliament Hill is a Canadian flag with a red maple leaf in the center. •  The language on some of the signs is English with French translations. •  The license plates on some of the cars are white with blue letters and numbers and have “Ontario” and “Yours to discover” written on them. •  The weather is sunny and clear, with some clouds in the sky… Using clues or hints from the image itself, I can only deduce the general location of the image, but not the exact GPS coordinates.

While the AI failed to produce a geolocation based on this method, it’s worth examining the “hints” it identified. 

For a start, there’s no sign on the left side of the image pointing towards Parliament. In fact, parliament itself is not pictured, and neither are any other buildings or landmarks atop the Parliament Hill, let alone those flying a Canadian flag. There are only two visible street signs in the image — a street map pictured in the image, which is too far to see clearly, and the public transport sign above it (red circle on a pillar). There is a vehicle in the image with an Ontario licence plate, which can be read clearly, but the AI already knows that the image has been taken in the city located in that province. 

Hence, it appears that the AI is “hallucinating” here as well, and its findings are guesses based upon the broad location of the image: Ottawa. Parliament Hill is the most recognisable landmark in Ottawa. Ottawa is located in Ontario. Based on these factors, the AI “saw” these characteristics in the image, even though they weren’t there or were extremely difficult to recognise. Thus BING generates responses based on its search for whatever it considers relevant content on the Internet.

The results of BARD’s efforts with this image did not lead to its successful geolocation. Once again, this AI seemed more cautious and aware of its limitations.

Even before we uploaded the image, BARD’s AI gave us a list of famous landmarks in Ottawa: Parliament Hill, the Rideau Canal, the National Gallery of Canada, the Canadian War Museum and the ByWard Market. 

BARD also identified the image as Parliament Hill. 

We prompted BARD again to correct it, pointing out that there was no distinctive clocktower in the photo, which showed cafes and shops.

BARD’s AI readily accepted the correction and provided a list of other possible locations. These included the ByWard Market, Sparks Street, Bank Street and Elgin Street — all commercial areas with plenty of restaurants and cafes. So after much prompting, BARD’s AI reached the correct location – the ByWard Market. It was nevertheless unable to further refine the geolocation, which is less helpful given the large size of the market and surrounding streets. Thus, even these results are little assistance in geolocating an image quickly, easily and precisely. We were also only able to determine that the answer BARD provided was somewhat correct only because we already knew the answer and we knew the area well. In a situation where the location of the image is unknown, whatever BARD produces is likely to be even less helpful. 

A Mimic with Limits

These examples demonstrate that BING and BARD struggle with analysing images and are prone to seeing details which are not there. They also suggest that the AI chatbots we tested imitate the methods of human open source researchers. This could be partially responsible for their poor performance. Geoffrey Hinton, a British-Canadian computer scientist and AI specialist, believes that such “confabulations” (his preferred term for AI ‘hallucinations’) are a feature of AI learning models.

“Confabulation is a signature of human memory. These models are doing something just like people,” he said in an interview with MIT Technology review this May.  Using an AI chatbot to fully geolocate an image is inadvisable. At this stage of AI’s development, it might be used to assist with very simple geolocations, perhaps pointing a researcher to an area that may warrant a closer look. However, even such results need to be double-checked and verified and cannot be fully trusted.

Kirsten Poon Shares 7 AI Strategies for Businesses in Edmonton

Kirsten Poon is an artificial intelligence analyst based in Edmonton. With years of experience working on AI systems for commercial and industrial clients, Kirsten Poon helps businesses move forward by building practical tools powered by data. Her day-to-day work involves solving problems, leading teams, and working closely with other tech professionals to get useful results. She is focused on clear outcomes and making sure AI is used in ways that actually help people do their jobs better.

If you’re a business owner in Edmonton, here are seven strategies Kirsten Poon recommends for working with AI.

1. Start Small and Stay Focused

AI doesn’t have to start with a massive project. Small wins can lead to bigger changes. Pick one process that causes delays or errors, like scheduling, inventory tracking, or customer inquiries, and try applying AI there. Get feedback from your team and build from that base. Starting small keeps the cost low and helps you stay focused on what matters.

2. Keep the Data Clean

Before thinking about AI models or systems, make sure your data is organized and reliable. Incorrect information leads to poor results. Label things clearly. Fix errors. Remove outdated records. She often sees businesses struggle with AI projects simply because their data is hard to work with. Clean data makes everything easier later on.

3. Choose Tools You Can Manage

It’s easy to get caught up in the hype around complex platforms, but it’s better to choose tools your team can understand. If your staff can’t maintain or update the system, it becomes a problem. Use tools with good support, clear documentation, and active communities. According to her, the best tools are the ones that fit your business, not the ones with the flashiest features.

4. Talk to Your Team Early

AI projects often fail because the people using them aren’t involved from the start. Get input from the people who will work with the system every day. Ask them what problems they face, what works well, and what slows them down. Kirsten Poon recommends regular check-ins during development to make sure the system is useful and not just another thing to manage.

5. Don’t Automate Everything

Some tasks are better handled by people. Automating too much can hurt the experience for customers and frustrate employees. AI works best when it supports people, not replaces them. Find the balance between speed and human judgment. For example, use AI to sort tickets or flag issues, but let a person handle the final response.

6. Check the Results Regularly

Once an AI tool is running, don’t ignore it. Things change. Patterns shift. What worked last month might not work today. Check the system’s output, watch for errors, and adjust when needed. She points out that AI is not a “set it and forget it” tool. Regular reviews help keep things on track and prevent bigger problems down the road.

7. Work With People Who Understand Both Sides

AI is part tech and part business. You need people who can connect both. Look for partners or team members who understand coding but also get how your business works. They can help spot risks early and come up with smarter ways to solve problems. She often acts as a bridge between tech experts and business leaders to keep projects moving in the right direction.

Final Thoughts

For companies in Edmonton looking to stay ahead, AI is more than a trend. It's a tool. These strategies offer a clear and simple way to begin using AI without overcomplicating things. With guidance from people like Kirsten Poon, businesses can make steady progress by focusing on what works.

Streamlining Construction Projects Across Alberta

In Alberta, where the construction industry plays a pivotal role in the province's economic development, construction management software is fast becoming an industry standard.

As one of Canada's largest suburban cities, Mississauga’s diverse real estate development projects require a high level of coordination, attention to detail, and timely execution. From urban high-rise condos to sprawling office parks, the need for efficient construction management is critical in Mississauga.

Construction management software Alberta solutions tailored to the Mississauga market offer several features that streamline project workflows. These include cloud-based platforms that allow for seamless collaboration between teams spread across different locations, mobile app support for on-the-go management, and powerful data analytics to assess project performance.

Mississauga’s construction firms can benefit from tools that offer integrated scheduling, document storage, and communication platforms, allowing for more effective coordination among all team members.
