NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sep 20, 2022–<\/p>\n
Clearview AI<\/em><\/a>, the leading facial recognition technology company that provides photo identification technology to help solve crimes has announced the launch of JusticeClearview<\/em><\/a>, a first-of-its-kind product designed specifically for public defenders seeking justice for the wrongfully accused.<\/p>\n Clearview AI\u2019s FRT platform has already been instrumental in helping investigators solve cases including crimes against children, homicides, financial frauds, drug trafficking, sex offenders as well as victim and missing person identifications. Now, JusticeClearview<\/em><\/a> will leverage the company\u2019s industry leading FRT platform, powered by the most accurate and bias-free algorithm in the Western World and database of 20+ billion facial images, to help public defenders exonerate those falsely accused of crimes.<\/p>\n \u201cClearview AI\u2019s mission in pursuit of justice and support of public safety extends beyond helping identify those who perpetrate crimes, it also encompasses helping exonerate those who have been wrongfully accused. These are two sides of the same coin and are equally important to the proper administration of justice both for the victims of crimes and the public at large,\u201d said Hoan Ton-That, Clearview AI\u2019s founder and CEO.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are encouraged by the use of facial recognition technology to help exonerate the innocent, and we are excited to bring this technology to Public Defender offices. We want our state-of-the-art technology to be used to help obtain justice for people who have been wrongfully accused of crimes. Cases in which the wrong person has been identified as responsible for a crime now have the potential to be resolved in minutes, not years. \u201c<\/p>\n The use of facial recognition technology is not just for police and prosecutors, but can also serve public defenders working for governments as part of the justice system, and help them identify other witnesses and persons of interest.<\/p>\n According to the Innocence Project, 70 percent of wrongful convictions come from eyewitness lineups. Technology like JusticeClearview<\/em><\/a> is much more accurate than the human eye, and can be used to exonerate people and help eliminate bias from the criminal justice system.<\/p>\n \u201cThe launch of JusticeClearview<\/em><\/a> is to help level the playing field and ensure that justice is available to all.\u201d added Ton-That. \u201cThere is nothing worse than being held responsible for a crime you did not commit.\u201d<\/p>\n In January, Clearview AI was awarded a U.S. patent<\/a> for its unique facial recognition algorithm, which performed nearly flawlessly in the recent<\/a> National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) Facial Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT), ranking No. 1 in the U.S. and No. 2 worldwide in the WILD category, the most difficult category of the NIST facial recognition test, and achieved greater than 99 percent accuracy across all demographics.<\/p>\n Clearview AI<\/em><\/p>\n Clearview AI\u2019s facial recognition platform is protecting families and making our communities more secure. We help law enforcement disrupt and solve crime, and provide the capability to enable financial institutions, transportation and other commercial enterprises to verify identities, prevent financial fraud and identity theft — and help public defenders protect the innocent from wrongful convictions.<\/p>\n View source version on businesswire.com<\/a>:https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20220920005570\/en\/<\/a><\/p>\n Media: Lisa Lindenllinden@lakpr.com<\/a><\/p>\n KEYWORD: NEW YORK UNITED STATES NORTH AMERICA<\/p>\n INDUSTRY KEYWORD: SECURITY TECHNOLOGY PHOTOGRAPHY OTHER TECHNOLOGY AUDIO\/VIDEO SOFTWARE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE<\/p>\n SOURCE: Clearview AI<\/p>\n Copyright Business Wire 2022.<\/p>\n PUB: 09\/20\/2022 06:00 AM\/DISC: 09\/20\/2022 06:02 AM<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20220920005570\/en<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
