The U.K.’s data regulator has warned Clearview AI it could face a £17 million (U.S. $22.6 million) fine over its use of people’s data to power its facial recognition software.
The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is particularly concerned that while the tech firm’s services are no longer being offered in the United Kingdom, and the company has no U.K.-based customers, evidence suggests it both has and “may be continuing to process significant volumes of U.K. people’s information without their knowledge.”
