Kashmir Hill, New York Times Tech reporter, sits down with Bridget to discuss her new book, Your Face Belongs To Us: A Secretive Startup's Quest To End Privacy as We Know It. Kashmir explains how an app called Clearview AI can identify anyone based on just one snapshot of their face with astonishing accuracy and how thousands of law enforcement agencies around the world are already using this technology. She and Bridget cover the ramifications of this technology - both positive and negative, how the US has been slow to pass federal privacy laws and has not kept up with advancements in technology, the story behind the creation of Clearview AI and their advancements in facial recognition technology, how it could fundamentally change our lives and the way we interact in the world moving forward.
