Halo Summary:
The Oklahoma City Police Department just reciewved approval to spend $37,000 on Clearview AI, a facial comparison tool tapping into over 60 billion online images, from mugshots to social media posts. According to police, only 12 criminal analysts will use the tech, and it’s strictly for investigative leads, not arrests. But the move isn’t without backlash. ACLU Oklahoma and the Policing Project warn the tech’s track record, like Clearview’s 2022 lawsuit loss in Illinois, poses serious privacy risks. OKCPD says policy and training will come before any use.
