Clearview AI Prototype Adds Automated Research to Facial Recognition

Clearview AI has built an experimental tool called InquiryIQ that extends its facial recognition system beyond identification, automatically searching the web to compile a person's addresses, employers, aliases, social media accounts and known associates into a "Candidate Graph." Separately, US Customs and Border Protection has sought 15 Clearview licenses for Border Patrol intelligence units doing network analysis, showing federal appetite for turning a single face into a persistent intelligence starting point and mapping personal relationships automatically.
