Police relied on Clearview AI and put the wrong person in jail
Oh, this is simple.  Clearview AI needs to get sued for defamation or slander.<p>In the United States, falsely accusing someone can be considered defamation or slander, depending on the circumstances.<p>Defamation is a legal term that refers to the act of making false statements about someone that damage their reputation. If the false statements are made in writing, such as in a blog post or social media post, it is called libel. If the false statements are made verbally, it is called slander.<p>To prove defamation or slander, the person who was falsely accused must demonstrate that the statements were false (he can), that they were published or spoken to a third party (they were -- to the police department), that they caused harm to the person's reputation (he lost a week from work and was put in jail -- not to mention countless articles that mention this fact), and that the person making the false statements acted with actual malice or negligence (they provided a service for money and didn't check their facts). Actual malice means that the person making the false statements knew they were false or acted with reckless disregard for the truth.  I'm pretty sure 'reckless disregard for the truth' would be pretty easy to prove in this case -- considering Clearview probably can't say specifically why this person selected for arrest.<p>If a person is found guilty of defamation or slander, they may be required to pay damages to the person who was falsely accused to compensate for the harm caused to their reputation. The amount of damages can vary depending on the extent of the harm and the specific circumstances of the case.
