Clearview's AI Tool Builds Digital Personas | Tech News

0:00On September 10, ClearView AI, the company that built a massive database of over 3 billion internet photos for facial recognition, is reportedly. Testing a new AI tool. This experimental system, called Inquiry IQ, is designed to go beyond just identifying a face. It aims to automatically gather more information about a person, like who they know, where they live, and their online presence, essentially building. A profile for law enforcement. This new tool could significantly speed up investigations, potentially compressing days or weeks of detective work into mere minutes. However, experts worry that this efficiency might also lower the barrier for broad surveillance, making it easier to scrutinize individuals who might. Not have been investigated otherwise. The nature of generative AI also raises concerns about the reproducibility of findings, making it hard to trace how the system arrived at its conclusions. The company states that Inquiry IQ is just a prototype and has not been released to

1:03customers. They describe it as a way to automate the web search's detectives already conduct, not as an automated investigator. ClearView also mentioned that the inclusion of different AI models, like one from Elon Musk's XAI company, was for internal testing purposes, too. Compare performance, not for law enforcement, to choose which model to use. According to code analyzed by WireEd, Inquiry IQ can search the web and images, analyze web pages, and even use facial recognition on new photos. Fimes? The system is built to automatically discover and enrich personal data from online sources, creating what ClearView calls a candidate graph of. Potential identities and associates, along with details like possible employers, aliases, and even arrest history, ClearView emphasizes that human review remains crucial, with investigators responsible for verifying any information generated by the AI. They maintain that the tool is meant to surface leads, not determine truth.

2:05While the company is rapidly developing prototypes, they stress that Inquiry IQ's current form is not slated for release, and that they are continuously, evaluating various AI models for suitability. They informed with tech news today, AI, powered updates.
