Clearview built a tool that turns one face into a full dossier.
WIRED reported on Thursday that the face-search firm Clearview AI has an unreleased tool called InquiryIQ. From one face match it assembles addresses, employers, aliases, social accounts and arrest records into one profile. Reporters found it in files the login page sends to every visitor, and Clearview says police never used it.
Why it mattersFace search used to return a name; this would return your whole life at once. Clearview says it never shipped, but the code shows where the industry is heading.
