​​Clearview AI has released an updated facial recognition system

The developer of the Clearview AI facial recognition system has released the Clearview 2.0 update, which contains improved biometric identification tools. This is stated in the company's press release.

According to the director of Clearview AI, Hoan Thon-Thet, innovations include image enhancement tools that allow researchers to use photos with partially covered faces, poor lighting and low resolution.

"Clearview AI 2.0 adds several security and functionality improvements to the already proven technology ... to help investigators use it in a more convenient way that facilitates rapid matching of individuals in investigations," Ton-Tet said.

According to him, the service's database contains more than 20 billion images of people from around the world.

Clearview 2.0 has also improved workflow tracking and reporting. This will limit privacy violations and police abuses, according to the company.

The new version has improved the training of new users and introduced additional verification steps.

The company has already started rolling out the update to existing customers, which include more than 3,100 agencies in the US, including the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and hundreds of local agencies.

Recall that Clearview AI provided the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine with access to the database after the invasion of the Russian Federation on the territory of the country.

In November 2021, the software of the infamous startup entered the top ten most accurate facial recognition systems.

In October, the Clearview AI database contained 10 billion individuals.
