Clearview AI controversy highlights rise of high-tech surveillance

You don't want your face to appear in the database of Clearview AI? The company's CEO doesn't seem to care. "All the information we collect is collected legally and it is all publicly available information," Hoan Ton-That said Monday during DW's Global Media Forum (GMF), addressing criticism that the firm's controversial technology infringes on the privacy of hundreds of millions. Privacy activists recently lodged data protection complaints against Clearview AI in five European countries. They argue that the software -- a search engine for faces combing through billions of photos -- violates the UK's and the EU's strict privacy rules.
