Clearview AI Is Testing an AI Tool That Would Let Cops Unearth Your Life Online

What changed

Clearview AI is testing InquiryIQ, a prototype that uses an xAI model to find associates, social accounts, and other information about people identified through Clearview. The tool is intended to help police connect a person’s identity with their online activity.

What this means for you

If deployed, law-enforcement users could investigate people across online sources from a Clearview identification. It is currently being tested, so its availability, cost, and scope are not established; the reported use also raises significant privacy concerns.
