Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Hello! Not sure if this is the best place to ask…

I’ve been tasked with combing through a large database of photos and organizing them by keywording in a way that makes it easy to search for images containing certain things (example: coworker wants to find image of dog in park, they search in explorer “tags: (dog and park)”.

Considering the functionality of iPhotos to recognize animals and human faces, I wonder if there’s a program that can be used to search this data base using A.I? So that without keywords, the program could search for contents in an image and show results similar to what was searched (think Pinterest)

There’s also a potential solution which is a program that has auto keywording… does this exist?

Any ideas would be helpful thank you!

Immich can do object and face recognition. Depending on your hardware, it may take a while for all the pictures to be analyzed. I'm not sure if it explicitly uses AI for this.
