Land of a billion faces

Clearview AI has built one of the most comprehensive databases of people’s faces in the world. Your picture is probably in there (our host Jennifer Strong’s was). In part two of this four-part series on facial recognition, we meet the CEO of the controversial company who tells us our future is filled with FaceID— regardless of whether it’s regulated or not.

We meet: 

• Hoan Ton-That, Clearview AI 
• Alexa Daniels-Shpall, Police Executive Research Forum
