Met police using AI tools supplied by Palantir to flag officer misconduct

The Metropolitan Police in London is using AI tools provided by Palantir to monitor officer behavior. The technology analyzes internal data, including sickness levels, absences, and overtime patterns, to identify potential misconduct or failing professional standards. The Met claims the pilot program aims to improve standards and culture by identifying patterns indicative of problematic behavior. The Police Federation has criticized the initiative, expressing concerns about "automated suspicion" and the potential for misinterpreting workload pressures as wrongdoing. Palantir, a US tech company, has faced controversy due to its work with the Israeli military and Donald Trump's ICE operation, as well as its links to Peter Mandelson.
