Description[ ]

While a leaked list with customers of Clearview AI suggests that the Kantonspolizei St.Gallen used Clearview AI for atleast 11 cases, the police department states that they have not tested nor used Clearview AI.

The company’s client list suggests otherwise. It shows that Clearview AI has expanded to at least 26 countries outside the US, engaging national law enforcement agencies, government bodies, and police forces in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Ireland, India, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. 2

"Die Kantonspolizei St. Gallen hat ein Projekt zur Evaluation von Gesichtserkennungssoftware durchgeführt", erklärte der dortige Mediensprecher. "Dabei wurden mehrere Anbieter getestet. Clearview AI war nicht unter den offiziell getesteten Produkten. Wir haben über 1000 Mitarbeiter und ich kann keine Auskunft über einzelne Aktionen geben. Die Kantonspolizei St. Gallen als Institution hat Clearview AI weder getestet noch eingesetzt." 3
