More than 3,000 police departments expand Clearview AI facial recognition use

A ProPublica investigation revealed that over 3,000 law enforcement agencies across the United States had adopted Clearview AI facial recognition technology, including many departments that had not disclosed its use to local governing bodies or the public. The tool had been used in over 1 million law enforcement searches since 2022. Federal courts had not yet ruled on whether warrantless Clearview searches violated the Fourth Amendment.
