 Once again, Clearview AI enabled a racist wrongful arrest. 

AP News report that Randal Quran Reid was arrested and locked up for days for a crime committed in a US state he’d never been to. 

Clearview AI’s facial recognition tool ‘matched’ him to video surveillance images of the crime. But it wasn’t him. How long are we going to accept policing with rights-infringing and dodgy technology?

 Our civil liberties and human rights are at stake. That’s why we and others around the world have been pursuing legal challenges against Clearview AI for the past few years.

In the US, the ACLU and organisations representing survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, undocumented immigrants, and communities of color succeeded in banning Clearview from Illinois, which has very strict biometric privacy laws.
