Clearview AI is changing our privacy. The New York-based company says it aims to collect 100 billion images – that’s 14 for every person on the planet – with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Although this tool can be used for a lot of good, catching criminals and identifying spies, what happens if it falls into the wrong hands? FRANCE 24’s Jessica Le Masurier and Romeo Langlois have this special report.
It’s an untold story that could affect our lives forever: New York’s Clearview AI is working to recognize and collect the faces of every person on the planet with the help of AI.
The company’s services are already in use. US police use it to track criminals and Ukraine uses it to identify Russian spies.
But how would you feel if this powerful tool, which could potentially be used for mass surveillance, fell into the wrong hands? What if it’s already there?
And how would you feel if the pictures of your own face – photos you never knew existed – appeared in this growing database?
