Met police in talks to buy Palantir AI tech for use in criminal investigations
"Palantir, whose software is used by Donald Trump's ICE immigration enforcement programme and the Israeli military, demonstrated its systems to senior officers in the intelligence division at the UK's largest police force last month."
"The talks have created internal concerns about allowing a controversial US company to process highly sensitive intelligence data relating to crimes, such as victims' personal information."
"Last week, MPs demanded ministers scrap NHS England's 330m deal to handle patient and other health data because of anger at the company's connections with Trump and the Israeli military and fears about patient privacy."
"Parliamentarians described the manifesto as the ramblings of a super villain and a disturbing narcissistic rant."
The Metropolitan police is in discussions with Palantir to potentially acquire AI technology for automating intelligence analysis in criminal investigations. Concerns have arisen regarding the processing of sensitive data by a controversial US company. Palantir currently provides experimental AI to Scotland Yard and may expand its role significantly. Public and political scrutiny is increasing over Palantir's contracts with various UK entities, with calls for reviews due to its connections with controversial figures and implications of cultural superiority in a recent manifesto.
