Australia’s information watchdog is to halt investigations on Clearview AI’s allegedly unlawful use of facial recognition technology to collect facial images and biometric templates from Australian residents. In a public statement published by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) on August 21, Privacy Commissioner Carly Kind said that the probe started in 2021 over Clearview AI’s potential breach of the country’s Privacy Act will be discontinued.
