Hoan Ton-That, CEO Clearview AI:

"As a person of mixed race, the accuracy of facial recognition technology is important to me. Recent NIST testing has shown that Clearview AI's facial recognition algorithm shows no detectable racial bias, and to this date, we know of no instance where Clearview AI's technology has resulted in a wrongful arrest.

...

According to the Innocence Project, 70% of wrongful convictions result from eyewitness lineups. Accurate facial recognition technology like Clearview AI is able to help create a world of bias-free policing. 

Clearview AI is also committed to the responsible use of its powerful technology and is used only for after-the-crime investigations to help identify criminal suspects. It is not intended to be used as a surveillance tool relating to protests or under any other circumstances. Clearview AI only searches publicly available information on the internet that is accessible to anyone with a web browser, just like any other search engine such as Google, Bing or DuckDuckGo.

Clearview AI’s agreement is with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), which uses our technology for their Child Exploitation Unit and ongoing criminal investigations. Clearview AI has enabled HSI to rescue children across the country from sexual abuse and exploitation. Clearview AI is not used for any immigration related purposes in DHS at this time."
