Clearview AI has been testing a prototype tool that could allow law enforcement to dig deeper into a person’s online presence. The tool, called InquiryIQ, was previously unreported and was tested using a model from xAI, the company behind Grok.
What InquiryIQ Was Designed to Do
According to the available information, InquiryIQ was tested to surface associates, social accounts, and other information about people identified through Clearview. The prototype represents a potential expansion of Clearview’s capabilities beyond facial recognition.
The Role of xAI's Model
The testing involved a model from xAI, the maker of Grok. This detail indicates that Clearview explored using an external AI model to power the prototype’s information-gathering functions.
Why This Matters
The existence of InquiryIQ, even as a prototype, points to a possible direction for Clearview’s technology: enabling police to unearth a person’s life online after identification. The tool’s focus on associates and social accounts suggests an effort to build a more comprehensive profile from a single identification.
As of the source information, no further details about the prototype’s development, deployment, or current status are provided.
