On Thursday, the RCMP said the force generally does not disclose specific tools and technologies used in the course of its investigations, but confirmed that it has recently started to use and explore Clearview AI’s facial-recognition technology “in a limited capacity.” The RCMP will be engaging with the Privacy Commissioner to work in partnership to develop guidelines and policies that conform to legislation and regulations, it said.

At the time, the RCMP would not confirm whether it was using Clearview AI. It would only say that the force continues"to monitor new and evolving technology.”
