A New Jersey man was accused of shoplifting and trying to hit an officer with a car. He is the third known Black man to be wrongfully arrested based on face recognition.

“We’re now approaching the technological threshold where the little guys can do it to the big guys,” one researcher said.

Clearview AI has hired Floyd Abrams, a top lawyer, to help fight claims that selling its data to law enforcement agencies violates privacy laws.

The arrest of a man for a crime he didn’t commit shows the dangers of facial recognition technology.

In what may be the first known case of its kind, a faulty facial recognition match led to a Michigan man’s arrest for a crime he did not commit.

The facial recognition start-up violated the privacy of Illinois residents by collecting their images without their consent, the civil liberties group says in a new lawsuit.

Though a breakthrough for law enforcement, the technique could allow the little-known start-up to collect an extraordinarily sensitive set of data and images.

At a conference in Berlin, tech outfits from around the world were eager to do business with law enforcement.

The city, stepping into a debate over privacy, says it will use real-time facial recognition technology “to tackle serious crime.”

I reported on an app, created by the company Clearview AI, that can identify people in seconds using a trove of photos collected from across the web.

Records from Florida, where law enforcement has long used the controversial technology, offer an inside look at its risks and rewards.

A tank that drives itself. A drone that picks its own targets. A machine gun with facial-recognition software. Sound like science fiction? Weapons powered by artificial intelligence are already here.

The spread of facial recognition technology in housing, public and private, is raising concern in cities and Congress.

In a closely watched case, a judge ruled that live facial recognition does not violate privacy rights. There has been little legal precedent about its use.
