Case Study: National Insurance Crime Bureau helps identify rental car theft suspects faster with Clearview AI

Nashville International Airport’s Department of Public Safety Helps Identify Suspect in Attempted Rental Car Theft

The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), in collaboration with Nashville International Airport, was facing a significant challenge with rental car theft. Thieves using counterfeit credentials stole millions of dollars in vehicles, and the existing process to identify suspects through video feeds and flight manifests was slow and ineffective. They turned to Clearview AI and its facial recognition technology to help accelerate the investigation process.

Clearview AI provided a powerful facial recognition tool that searches a vast database of publicly available images. An investigator used the platform to identify a suspect from a counterfeit license photo in seconds. This lead, combined with a follow-up investigation, resulted in a positive identification and an arrest warrant being issued within two hours. As a result of implementing Clearview AI, the airport’s identification rate for rental car theft suspects has doubled.
