Grok faces new lawsuits over facial recognition

As Grok faces two class action lawsuits in Illinois over allegations of unlawfully collecting facial biometric information, Privacy Bee CEO Harry Maugans joins Chicago Live to explain how AI photo transformations use facial mapping technology and why the collection of biometric data raises serious privacy concerns.

Maugans also discusses the potential risks of facial data being retained or sold to data brokers, how these digital “face prints” could be used for surveillance pricing, and why there's little recourse beyond monetary compensation when your face gets scanned.

He also shares practical steps consumers can take to protect their privacy when using AI photo transformation tools.
