Clearview AI’s InquiryIQ was described as an unreleased prototype designed to extend a facial-recognition lead into a much wider online investigation.
The prototype Clearview says police have not used Clearview AI CEO Amos Kyler said that no law-enforcement user had used InquiryIQ.
InquiryIQ is therefore best understood as a proposal for extending Clearview AI’s existing facial-recognition workflow, not as a tool that police departments can simply sign into today.
Ferguson argued that preserving prompts, searches, model choices and investigative paths could make an AI-assisted investigation easier to audit than an undocumented human search.
Those are figures about Clearview AI’s broader platform, not measurements of InquiryIQ or proof that the prototype was used by those agencies.
