Clearview AI is an American facial recognition company, providing software to law enforcement and government agencies and other organizations.[1] The company's algorithm matches faces to a database of more than 20 billion images collected from the Internet, including social media applications.[2] Founded by Hoan Ton-That and Richard Schwartz, the company maintained a low profile until late 2019, when its usage by law enforcement was reported.[3] U.S. police have used the software to apprehend suspected criminals.[4][5][6] Clearview's practices have led to fines by EU nations for violating privacy laws and investigations in the U.S. and other countries as well.[7][8][9]
