The Trump Vance FTC was ordered to stop “burdening” AI companies. So Clarifai trained its models on 3 million stolen dating profile pics and gets to keep everything. The cops are working for the robbers. [image]

The craziest part? Clarifai still has those images. They've already used them to train their facial recognition models. But the FTC doesn't order the company to delete the models trained on stolen data. [image]

That's right: no monetary penalty whatsoever. OkCupid violated its own privacy policy, shared intimate data with a facial recognition company because the founders were investors in Clarifai, then lied about it to users and the press when they got caught. [image]

The FTC just settled with OkCupid and Match Group for secretly handing nearly 3 million users' dating profile photos and location data to Clarifai, a company that builds facial recognition software(!!!). The penalty? A promise not to do it again. [image]
