The Ukrainian military’s use of Clearview AI facial recognition to identify dead Russian soldiers may carry negative consequences, warned military technology analysts, The Washington Post reports. Ukraine reported using Clearview AI to scan the faces of more than 8,600 Russian soldiers killed in the invasion. The families of 582 soldiers were directly contacted to inform them of family member deaths, with some outreach including an image of the dead soldier. Some military analysts were concerned the effort by Ukraine could backfire and harden support among Russian families for the war.
