Clarifai deletes 3 million photos that OkCupid provided to train facial recognition AI, report says

What Happened

AI platform Clarifai deleted 3 million photos OkCupid provided in 2014 for facial recognition training, along with associated models. The FTC investigated after 2019 reports revealed the company used images to estimate age, sex, and race. OkCupid and Match Group settled with FTC last month without admitting wrongdoing, though Clarifai's deletion confirms unauthorized data access violated user privacy policies.
