This chapter explores the debate surrounding Clearview AI's scraping of images from social media platforms, the lack of reaction from the company, and the need for effective privacy laws. It also addresses the implications of facial recognition technology and its impact on privacy, freedom of speech, and mistaken identity.
When tech journalist Kashmir Hill got a tip about a mysterious app, Clearview AI, that claimed it could identify anyone based on just one photo, she was skeptical. But when she found out the app was for real, she quickly realized it could lead to a dystopian future where privacy is a thing of the past.
