Clearview AI is testing a new tool called InquiryIQ that uses xAI's Grok model to aggregate personal information from across the internet, including social media accounts, associates, and other digital footprints. The tool is being piloted with law enforcement agencies to surface comprehensive profiles of individuals during investigations.

The prototype represents an escalation in surveillance capability, combining facial recognition (Clearview's core product) with AI-powered aggregation of public and semi-public digital information. The effort has not been publicly disclosed and raises significant privacy and civil liberties questions.

What This Means for Your Business

Organizations should assume that personal information they publish online—even on ostensibly private platforms—may be aggregated and accessed by law enforcement through tools like this. Review your digital footprint policies and consider whether employee guidelines need updating. Additionally, if your business operates in regulated industries, anticipate requests for cooperation with such tools and establish clear data governance policies in advance.
