Kashmir Hill has been working on a book about facial recognition technology for the last three years. In doing so, she tracked down the early pioneers, found the people fighting against the worst impulses for the technology, and dove into the history of Clearview AI, the ground-breaking startup that first drew her into the topic by building a radical person-finding app that giants in the field, including Google and Facebook, had deemed taboo.
