Clearview AI is said to have collected billions of images from the internet, including from social media accounts that are set to public, according to the company. Clearview AI has created a database of those images and made it available to a wide range of customers, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the government of Ukraine, and law enforcement officials that seek to identify victims of child pornography. Privacy and civil liberties advocates have longstanding concerns with Clearview AI, including the American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic Privacy Information Center. Lawmakers have also made the case that Clearview AI’s approach could endanger people’s privacy, and asked federal agencies to stop using the tool.
