CEO of Clearview AI, the startup that scraped billions of online face images, resigns
Briefly

Hoan Ton-That, cofounder and former CEO of Clearview AI, has stepped down, transitioning to a board member role as revenue and growth peak for 2024. The company appointed Hal Lambert and Richard Schwartz as co-CEOs, who have political ties to the Republican party. This change comes as Clearview positions itself to seize new opportunities under the Trump administration, particularly in biometric surveillance and contracts with federal agencies like the Pentagon and Homeland Security, aiming to enhance national security.
"I’m leaving on a high note... revenue and growth in 2024 were at their highest since the company was founded."
"We want to keep America safe, and technology is a way to do it," Lambert emphasized about Clearview's direction.
"Lambert and Schwartz will lead the charge to capitalize on emerging opportunities to enhance national security and public safety under the new Administration."
