Google has revealed some details about its plans to use artificial intelligence to update Google Maps in the near and far future. A global update of the working hours of locations on the map is expected if the system displays different results from the working hours in the datasheet based on the criteria considered. company according to There are 20 million such business pages in service worldwide, where the hours on the map will change over the next six months based on values calculated by MI.
The system takes several different aspects into consideration to determine the current working hours. This includes analyzing the “popular times” that appear in the datasheets, which will also generally show users when the lowest or highest traffic at that site is expected. Obviously, when a large amount of traffic comes out of off-site hours, this is a strong warning sign for outdated information. In addition, artificial intelligence checks the information in Street View images and web addresses provided in the company listing. Moreover, the solution also takes into account the operating hours of nearby competing sites and when the datasheet for that site was last updated.
However, working hours will not change directly on Google Maps datasheets unless the AI finds sufficient convincing evidence to update it. Additionally, the system will ask for confirmation from volunteer map editors through the Local Guides Program and from the business owner on a Google Business profile, if a business setup is included. In some countries, even Duplex can contact the business owner, and the Goole MI system can request actual business hours over the phone – but this is not yet expected in Hungary.
On the other hand, if the Google system does not find enough conclusive information about the exact date of the changed opening hours, it will only show one form in the form. The inscription will indicate that opening hours have changed, so inquire by phone before visiting.

Google has also sparked the use of another image recognition technology for speed tags. At the moment, the trial is only taking place in the US in conjunction with third-party partners that provide roadside imagery, for which the company has also begun to order speed signs. After indicating the artificial intelligence of the image processor and manually checking the operators, the system will also update the speed limits in Google Maps. The post adds that privacy is taken into account when images are used, faces and license plates are obscured, and images are deleted after the information is used.
The image-processing analysis of the roads is still in the pilot project stage, but the company hopes it will be effective in sending signals to Google Maps for potholes, school districts, and new construction over time.
