Clearview AI: The Controversial Facial Recognition Startup
Clearview AI, a facial recognition startup, came to the attention of reporter Cashmere Hill through a tipster who had discovered the company's claim of scraping billions of photos from the public web to create a facial recognition app. The app allowed users to upload a photo and find images of where that person appeared on the internet. Clearview AI's claims of 98.6% accuracy and large-scale data scraping were unprecedented, especially for a secretive startup. Hill's investigation into the company shed light on the ethical implications and potential privacy issues surrounding facial recognition technology.
