AG Clark announced the refiling of a lawsuit against Clearview AI, a company that uses facial recognition technology to map the faces of Vermonters, including children, without their knowledge and sells access to this data to its customers. The Complaint alleges violations of the Vermont Consumer Protection Act.

“I am highly disturbed by Clearview AI’s practices, conducted without Vermonters’ knowledge, particularly the collection and sale of children’s facial recognition data. This practice violates Vermont law and is chilling in this moment when the federal government’s overreach in matters like immigration enforcement are impacting our communities here in Vermont. I will continue to fight for the privacy of all Vermonters, especially children.”- AG Clark
