Ukraine’s Defense Ministry said it was working together with US facial recognition technology startup Clearview to gain the upper hand in the war against the Russian invasion.
The startup claimed to be providing the services for free to Ukraine while admitting to denying operations in Russia. Other technology companies in the digital security industry also claim to do the same.
Clearview can be used to identify dead civilians, Russian spies, round up refugees and uncover false social media posts about the war. In all, the database has more than 2 billion photos stored from Russia’s digital media service VKontakte, and 10 billion photos in total.
Possible problems in Ukraine
One of the cons that using Clearview’s services can cause is a failure that ends up identifying missing civilians as dead, wrongful arrests and other errors that the technology is subject to.
Experts say this may not be the only type of aid Ukraine must rely on. In addition, Clearview is subject to several lawsuits regarding violation of privacy rights. The startup claims that its performance is similar to that of Google’s search system and that in a war, controlling the use of data ends up being very difficult.
