Contrary to popular belief, AI is very stupid BUT it is really good at finding patterns, so it’s probably already been in use for location detection for quite some time.

Not just location detection, but also for facial recognition. Casinos immediately know who you are the second you set foot on the property. If you are banned from one casino, you are banned from all of them.
