Clearview AI's extensive database of over 60 billion faces may soon assist federal surveillance and law enforcement, despite concerns over privacy. Originally founded by Hoan Ton-That, who opposed government use, the new CEO Hal Lambert supports integrating the database with government contracts. The images in the database, gathered through web scraping and AI automation, likely include most Americans' likenesses, as capturing faces via security cameras and social media is prevalent. While some fear a Big Brother scenario, the intent is to enhance facial recognition technology's efficacy.
People are rightfully worried about their faces being part of the 60 billion that were captured by a company called Clearview AI.
The new company leader, Hal Lambert, has stated that one of the new goals of Clearview is to get its facial database into the hands of the government.
