AI facial recognition could sink murder investigation
Briefly

A murder case in Cleveland is at risk after police used Clearview AI's facial recognition software to obtain a search warrant. Despite the software's warning against using its data as probable cause, police identified a suspect based on separate video footage taken days after the murder. A judge subsequently excluded the evidence due to insufficient disclosure about the AI's involvement. This case highlights the potential challenges of using AI in law enforcement and emphasizes the importance of transparency and validity in evidence collection.
As police pursued leads, they relied on AI-based facial recognition despite Clearview AI's explicit warning that results should not serve as admissible evidence.
The credibility of the evidence derived from AI has been called into question, emphasizing the need for transparency in police investigations and adherence to judicial standards.
