A hot potato: Detroit police will no longer make arrests based only on facial recognition software results. The change is part of a settlement in a lawsuit that saw a man wrongfully arrested after the technology misidentified him as a theft suspect.
WTF?! The endlessly beleaguered facial recognition company Clearview AI is making news again. However, it's not over the startup's image scraping practices, which are questionable at best. This time, the company is attempting to keep itself out of bankruptcy by offering millions of plaintiffs in a privacy class action a stake in the company worth about 30 cents per claimant after lawyer fees.
