Your Face Belongs To Us (Tpb) by KASHMIR HILL in Paperback

For those familiar with Bad Blood, an enthralling depiction of a technology startup selling an innovative facial recognition system. Kashmir Hill's serendipitous discovery of Clearview AI, a mysterious company offering an app that could identify anyone with a single snapshot of their face, sparked terror. Not only could the app reveal your name, social media accounts, and even your home address, but it was only the beginning of a story more shocking than Hill could have imagined. Founded by computer engineer Hoan Ton-That and politician Richard Schwartz, and supported by a controversial cast on the alt-right, Clearview AI quickly gained popularity, with its app being used by billionaires and law enforcement. In this compelling work of journalism, Hill uncovers the tale of Clearview AI while delving into the ways in which facial recognition technology is transforming our existence, from its utilization by governments and corporations like Google and Facebook (who ultimately deemed it too radical to release) to the repercussions of ingrained racial and gender biases in
