Clearview AI appeals £7.5M ICO fine over facial recognition monitoring

Clearview AI has told the Court of Appeal that the UK ICO wrongly treats its facial recognition as behavioral monitoring and that a data deletion order would put it out of business. The ICO fined the company £7.5 million in 2022 and ordered it to stop collecting and destroy UK residents' data.

• ICO fined Clearview AI £7.5M in 2022 and ordered deletion of UK data
• Clearview says the deletion order would end its business entirely
• 190 of Clearview's 236 clients are police, military or investigative bodies
• Appeal hearings at the Court of Appeal run until at least Wednesday
