gollark: > Clearview AI is a new research tool used by law enforcement agencies to identify perpetrators and victims of crimes.> Computer vision for a safer world> Clearview AI's technology has helped law enforcement track down hundreds of at-large criminals, including pedophiles, terrorists and sex traffickers. It is also used to help exonerate the innocent and identify the victims of crimes including child sex abuse and financial fraud.
