AI powered facial recognition is fast becoming the new front line in the privacy wars. Clearview AI scrapes faces off social media (billions of them) and then sells facial recognition services to law enforcement agencies (or so it says), mainly in the US. On the one hand, privacy campaigners will tell you, loudly, that facial recognition is a direct threat to your privacy and should be banned or strictly regulated. On the other hand, law enforcement agencies will tell you, less loudly but with great seriousness, that facial recognition is a new and powerful tool against criminals. Like all new technology, AI in all its forms was touted as a step forward and good for mankind.
