Though Clearview compares itself to Google Images search, detractors say it violates privacy norms and foreshadows more egregious surveillance. Police say Clearview's web search tool helps them find people outside those datasets. Matches from facial recognition tools used by law enforcement across China, India and many other countries typically come from more limited arrest or government ID databases. Results link to websites such as Flickr, Instagram and Getty Images, where captions or other details reveal more about subjects. Overall, the nearly 50-person, mostly remote company aims to hire 18 more this year, including adding five engineers to a team of 12, Ton-That said.Īmong its plans this year, Clearview will add enhancement tools to clean up search photos and potentially AI to generate younger and older depictions so that someday seniors could be matched to childhood photos.Ĭlearview has become one of the highest-profile developers of facial recognition over the last two years because it sends authorities matches from an ever-growing database of over 10 billion photos that it finds posted publicly on the internet. They are listed together on a patent application filed Tuesday. Ton-That said Terence Liu is the Pennsylvania-based computational physicist behind some of Clearview's algorithms and its vice president of research. While rivals have promoted their benches of scientists or published papers about breakthroughs, Clearview had stayed quiet - calling itself "Made in the USA" but not offering details. Ton-That also for the first time revealed a member of Clearview's technology team. "And so it's, 'Can we get a few of those to the seven-figure, maybe eight-figure purchases?'" These recommendations include the RCMP undertaking privacy assessments of third-party data collection practices to determine legality, and creating a new technology privacy-focused oversight function."We know that some of these agencies are seeing great success, but they are only at a small five-figure purchase or a six-figure purchase," Ton-That said, referring to annual deal value. Nonetheless, the RCMP said it has “accepted all of the recommendations of the OPC and already begun effort towards their implementation." The RCMP said it can’t be held accountable for the behind-the-scenes way its tools were engineered, as that creates an unreasonable obligation and is not explicitly required by law. Meanwhile, Clearview AI claims Canadian privacy law shouldn’t apply to US-based companies.
