Kashmir Hill (author)[edit]
Kashmir Hill (born March 5, 1981) is an American technology author and journalist currently employed by the New York Times.
Life and Career[edit]
Kashmir Hill was born and raised in Florida, and earned degrees from Duke University and New York University where she studied journalism. Prior to joining the New York Times Hill wrote for Gizmodo Media Group, Fusion Magazine, Forbes Magazine, and Above the Law. Her writing has appeared in The New Yorker and The Washington Post. Hill has appeared as herself[1] in the 2017 documentary The New Radical[2], and in the TV series American Masters, Real Future[3], and America Declassified[4]. Hill's reporting on matters of data privacy have been cited by lawmakers[5] and credited with influencing public policy[6].
Clearview AI/Your Face Belongs to Us[edit]
In January 2020, Hill wrote an article for the New York Times[7] about facial recognition company Clearview AI, exposing the company's technology as flawed, describing its aggregation of facial imagery as privacy-eroding, and reporting on false arrests made based on the application's erroneous results. The article and additional reporting by the Times prompted Senator Ed Markey to press Clearview CEO Hoan Ton-That for assurances[8] that the technology would not harm children's privacy or be made available to authoritarian governments.
Encouraged by response to the article, and with more stories of privacy abuses and misidentifications, in September 2023 Hill authored the best-selling book Your Face Belongs to Us: A Secretive Startup's Quest to End Privacy as We Know It[9], published by Random House (ISBN 978-1-3985-0918-4). The book tells the story of how Clearview AI's facial recognition technology has been used (and misused) by law enforcement and private industry, threatening individuals' safety and privacy. Your Face Belongs to Us was named among the Best Books of 2023: Technology[10] by the Financial Times and featured extensively by such outlets as C-SPAN[11], PBS[12], The New Yorker[13], ABC News[14], MSNBC[15], Reason Magazine[16], and more.
Flip Phone February Challenge[edit]
In a January 6, 2024 Times article, Hill described her personal struggles with smartphone addiction, and positive experience switching to an older flip phone. Then, on February 1, 2024, in an article entitled "A Practical Guide to Quitting Your Smartphone[17]," she inspired the global "Flip Phone February Challenge[18]" to help people suffering from smartphone addiction anxiety.
