CEO of Clearview AI, the startup that scraped billions of online face images, resigns


Clearview AI, a controversial facial recognition startup, named Hal Lambert and Richard Schwartz co-CEOs as Hoan Ton-That resigns.

Clearview appointed early investor Hal Lambert and cofounder Richard Schwartz as co-CEOs in December after Ton-That shifted roles from CEO to president. Lambert is an active Republican supporter who, according to the biography page on his investment firm Point Bridge Captial, served on President Donald Trump's inauguration committee. A company spokesperson told Business Insider that Lambert and Schwartz will "lead the charge to capitalize on emerging opportunities to enhance national security and public safety under the new Administration."
