Investigators say Clearview AI Had No Consent for Images Given to Police SHARE ON: Have you been in a police lineup recently? Well, actually, that is a possibility thanks to powerful facial recognition technology. Through Clearview AI’s facial recognition tool your photograph may have turned up during an investigation into a crime. That was highlighted in an investigation by the Privacy Commissioners of BC, Canada, Alberta, and Quebec into whether Clearview AI violated personal privacy laws in Canada. They found that Clearview’s collection of billions of images of people from across the Internet represented mass surveillance and was a clear violation of the privacy rights of Canadians.
