Clearview AI tested an agent that builds a dossier from a face match
WIRED reported on September 10, 2026 that it found Clearview AI's InquiryIQ prototype in files the company's login page sends to any visitor's browser. After a law enforcement user runs a Clearview search, the tool is designed to search the web, run face recognition on new photos and assemble a Candidate Graph of possible identities and associates with addresses, phone numbers, employers, aliases, social accounts and arrest histories. One model Clearview tested for it came from xAI. Clearview says it is an internal prototype never shipped or used by law enforcement.
