Your Face Belongs to Us: The Secretive Startup Dismantling Your Privacy

byKashmir Hill

Kashmir Hill investigates Clearview AI, a company that built a facial recognition system from billions of photographs gathered online. Following its founders, investors, customers, and critics, she shows how a single image can expose someone’s identity and connect strangers to extensive personal information. The reporting examines the appeal of the technology to police and powerful private users, alongside the people whose faces became searchable without permission. Hill places the company’s rise within a wider struggle over surveillance, accountability, and whether anonymity can survive the commercial expansion of artificial intelligence.
