Clearview AI CEO Hoan Ton-That said the company has now collected more than 10 billion photos from across the web and is developing new ways to aid police surveillance, WIRED reports. Ton-That said "deblur" and "mask removal" tools use machine learning to sharpen and fill in missing details of an image. Director of Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society Jonathan Zittrain questioned the privacy implications, saying, "It is not a great world ... if someone points a camera at you and any photo of you is forevermore linked to your identity."
