Clearview AI, the highly controversial facial recognition firm that scrapes social media to maintain its bank of images, recently signed a contract with the U.S. Air Force to research “augmented reality facial recognition glasses,” according to public procurement records.

The news shows that the firm continues to push into new markets and products, but comes as the company faces opposition, including Canadian authorities demanding that Clearview AI stop the collection and sharing of social media images.
