Clearview AI is a tool that law enforcement has been using to identify suspects in crimes. To make the AI more effective, the company has been scraping all your social media profiles, and the Internet for your photos to add to its collective knowledge. This is just the beginning. How creepy is that? Is this even legal? It’s getting very ‘Minority Report.’ To help us understand what is happening along with the many implications, we went to Dr. Ann Cavoukian, a former privacy commissioner for the province of Ontario, to find out more.

The latest version of Android 11 has just been released to the wild in BETA. The preview is packed full of new features that developers are just starting to learning how to work with.

And finally, the APP Show mailbag is opening to reveal some of your best questions. We give our best answers on some of the questions you’ve posed to us.
