Clearview AI Settlement Vacated
A US appeals court has vacated Clearview AI's settlement in a privacy case over facial recognition due to a procedural problem
A US appeals court has vacated the settlement in a privacy case against Clearview AI, a company known for its facial recognition technology, due to a "key procedural problem in the settlement process," as reported by specialist news outlet MLex. This development comes as facial recognition tools are becoming increasingly common in law enforcement investigations, with explorenewjersey.org noting their growing use across New Jersey and the rest of the country. Meanwhile, other surveillance technologies are also being implemented, such as mandatory cameras in new EU cars, which autonocion.com reports are now required in every newly registered vehicle. The vacated settlement may have implications for the use of facial recognition technology in various contexts, including law enforcement and private industry, and may be of interest to those following related stories, such as the LAPD's decision to drop its Flock surveillance contract.
