Clearview AI announced its facial recognition software, Clearview 2.0, now features 20 billion publicly available facial images, Biometric Update reports. The images reportedly include photos of suspects, persons of interest and potential victims, and 3,100 law enforcement clients across the U.S. have purchased Clearview AI software, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Homeland Security. Clearview AI has come under scrutiny because its software has misidentified people, most notably persons of color, and it was recently fined 20 million euros by Italy's data protection authority, the Garante.
