How AI is used
Clearview AI is a web-based intelligence platform that uses facial recognition technology to help identify suspects, witnesses, and victims. The platform is not available to the general public and is only provided to vetted law enforcement and government agencies.
The software utilizes a database of over 70 billion images sourced from publicly available online sources, including news media, mugshot websites, and public social media. It is intended for post-event investigations rather than real-time surveillance, providing potential leads that investigators must independently verify.
Beyond local police work, the software supports national security, defense, and counterterrorism efforts, including identifying threats and protecting personnel. It also provides a tool for public defenders to analyze surveillance photos to support legal defense.
Buyers should confirm their agency's eligibility through the vetting process and review the biometric data laws applicable to their specific jurisdiction.
