What if you could be identified by anyone with just a blurry photo?
When Kashmir Hill stumbled upon Clearview AI in 2019, a facial recognition platform with an alleged 98.6% accuracy rate, the implications were terrifying.
But that was just the beginning.
Clearview AI would quickly rise to the top, sharing its app with billionaires, law enforcement and even Hollywood actors. In this gripping true story, Hill dives deep into its shadowy journey, and explores how facial recognition technology is already a part of our everyday lives – and where it’s going next.

Journalism at its worst.
Total waste of time/credit.What should be an important topic for EVERYONE is spoiled by firsly the authors blatant dislike of anyone outside the mainstream who she deems to be "far right". Secondly its full of irrelevant fluff
