Clearview AI tests xAI model for police surveillance tool

clearview ai, a face-recognition firm, has quietly built and tested an ai tool called inquiryiq. this tool uses a model from xai, the company behind grok, to gather personal data on individuals. inquiryiq is designed to take details from a clearview search and automatically search the web to assemble a profile of a person, including possible employers, aliases, associates, and physical characteristics. clearview claims that inquiryiq is a prototype that has never been pitched or shipped to customers and is not currently planned for release in its present form. experts say that tools like inquiryiq could significantly impact police investigations, potentially compressing days or weeks of detective work into minutes.
