The Chicago Police Department has been using a social media-based facial recognition feature to match images of suspects with pictures posted online, according to the Chicago Sun-Times (@chicagosuntimes). The firm that created this software, Clearview AI, is currently facing a federal lawsuit. A spokesman for the CPD said the database helps victims of crime seek justice. The CPD has a two-year contract with the Manhattan-based firm. Mayor Lightfoot promised to stop the use of facial recognition technology within the police task once elected, but no action has been taken yet. ☕️ . . . . #ChicagoPoliceDepartment #ClearviewAI #facialrecognition #socialmedia
