# Australian Regulator Ends Pursuit of Clearview AI Over Facial Recognition Use
## Key Points:
– The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) has upheld its decision that Clearview AI must stop collecting images and delete those already on record.
– Despite the ruling, Clearview AI has not shown any proof of complying with the directive to delete the images of Australian citizens.
– Clearview AI is a controversial facial recognition service used globally by law enforcement agencies, with a database boasting over 50 billion faces collected from various online sources, such as social media platforms.
– The company has been under scrutiny for its data collection practices and potential privacy violations.
### Final Thoughts:
Although the OAIC is standing firm on its decision regarding Clearview AI’s image collection and deletion, the company’s lack of compliance raises concerns about privacy and data protection. As technology advances, the ethical use of artificial intelligence, especially in surveillance and data scraping, must be closely monitored to safeguard individuals’ rights and privacy. The intersection of technology and privacy regulations continues to be a challenging landscape that requires ongoing attention and accountability from both companies and regulators.
