Clearview AI wants to use Covid-19 to legitimize tracking

dimanche 3 mai 2020 à 02:00

Clearview AI, whose business consists of using lots of cameras to track a large fraction of US residents on the street, wants to use Covid-19 to legitimize this.

I think that what Clearview AI does now ought to be a crime. We should poss a law to make it a felony, so that the management of that company or any other company will go to prison if they do it.

Specifically, operation of a system capable of systematic face recognition in places where the public is allowed to go (including the parts of stores that are open to the public) should be prohibited, outside of very narrow limits on where it can operate and how.
