Clearview AI
Dedicated to innovating and providing the most cutting-edge technology to law enforcement to investigate crimes, enhance public safety, and provide justice to victims
About Clearview AI
Clearview AI provides facial recognition technology to law enforcement and government agencies. The company's platform is powered by a database of billions of images scraped from public websites and social media.
Its primary service is an investigative tool that allows law enforcement to upload a photo of a person of interest and search for matches in Clearview's database. This is used to identify suspects in criminal cases, as well as victims of crimes such as child exploitation and human trafficking.
The company operates on a subscription-based business model, with law enforcement agencies paying for access to its platform. Clearview AI has faced significant controversy and legal challenges regarding its data collection practices, with critics raising concerns about privacy and the potential for misuse of its technology.
