Clearview AI Tests AI Tool to Accelerate Police Investigations
Clearview AI has quietly built and tested an experimental AI “analyst assistant” called InquiryIQ, designed to take investigator‑supplied details and automatically scour the web for additional leads. The prototype, powered by models such as SpaceXAI’s Grok and Amazon Bedrock, can open pages, analyze images, and assemble a profile of possible employers, aliases, associates, and physical traits.…
Key points
- InquiryIQ is a prototype AI assistant that automatically searches the web for police leads, using models like Grok and Amazon Bedrock.
- Clearview AI’s database now exceeds 70 billion images and serves over 2,000 law‑enforcement agencies nationwide.
- The tool could reduce investigative time from days to minutes, raising privacy and accuracy concerns for AI‑driven policing.
The tool’s interface allows users to input age, gender, race, hair and eye color to guide searches, and it can build a “Candidate Graph” of identities and connections. Experts warn that generative AI’s tendency to hallucinate could make it hard to trace why a particular lead was pursued, and that the speed and low cost of such searches could enable investigations of people who would otherwise never be examined.
Clearview, which now holds over 70 billion images and serves more than 2,000 law‑enforcement agencies, has shifted from face‑recognition to broader data‑enrichment tools under CEO Amos Kyler, who emphasizes human review and oversight.
