AI could also research past time and temperature data to add this information to historic photographs that already have time and GPS location embedded.
Not quite sure why you would use ai for it?! When you have the coordinates and the time.

Because why solve trivial coding problem when experimental bad technology that won't even work after a many fold increase in implementation time do trick?
As we all know, ai are the best and only solution to complex tasks such as rudimentary file management.
There are multiple historic weather APIs available (example), it should be pretty trivial to write a script to read the location and time from the EXIF data of your images, call the API, and them dump the info into a list or back into the image metadata.
Not been done (as far as I know) fully integrated into commercially available camera software. This could be as ubiquitous as location and be widely popular.
It wouldn't be difficult to write this script as a darktable plugin, but I imagine you'd struggle to convince the maintainers to merge code to allow for searching or categorising based on a custom metadata tag.
I'm less familiar with other programs, but I don't see any of the proprietary options implementing this.
Here is another example: You are ascending Mt. Everest and take photos on the way up. Each photo could have temperature embedded (showing how it is getting colder) as you get further up? Or at night vs day.
I am not aware of a phone that has an outdoor temperature sensor. And weather forecasts are not exact enough for this kind of application (fast altitude change)
You are correct. That is why I think it could be developed. Of course, looking at my downvoted comments on this thread, most people don’t see the world beyond 2D and the world is still flat! I would definitely have interest in this information, although others I am sure would not.
Downvotes are by people who hate ai being shoved everywhere.
You can get weather data with a camera with the right tools, you could have a database in a "thing" (probably in the cloud) to query historic data once device is connected to the "thing". AI is not the answer people think it is

It's not common but the pixel 8 has an infrared sensor in the camera that they advertise as being able to measure the temperature of stuff. Apparently it's fda approved to measure body temperature.
