(cont'd from yesterday's post)
Clearview's artificial intelligence really does help law enforcement agencies to "reliably and lawfully" identify both victims and perpetrators of crimes, granted.
But the uncomfortable questions come up: Are we okay with being watched without our knowledge or consent as we go about our normal lives? Is this like Chinese-style surveillance of everybody? New Jersey and San Francisco enacted laws banning it.
Clearview AI's intention is noble, to help find criminals. But the technology is out there to access our personal identity with any photo that someone might take. There's no doubt that someone with very non-noble intentions will use it. Or, a government will use it for political reasons.
The real threat that AI poses is the "I" that controls it.
