London police have launched an investigation into hundreds of British police officers after using an artificial intelligence tool from Palantir, which was launched to expose corrupt law enforcement officers.
According to The Guardian, the software was deployed by British police for a week and its purpose was to identify violations in the work of law enforcement officers.
Police said that through the use of the software, evidence was found linking several officers to serious crimes.
This even led to the arrest of three police officers for offenses such as abuse of power for sexual purposes, fraud, sexual assault, abuse of public office, and misuse of police systems.
Meanwhile, according to the Metropolitan Police, corruption was the most common offence detected by the software: as a result, 98 officers were «caught» in wrongdoing related to «misusing for personal or financial gain the IT system that schedules police shifts.» Another 500 officers were warned for the same offence.
42 senior officers, after analysis by the Palantir AI system, were accused of misconduct for avoiding coming to work in the office.
The most interesting thing that was «presented» to the British police as a result of this inspection was that 12 police officers were accused of concealing their membership in secret Masonic groups.
The publication also recalls that Palantir already has ties to ICE, US President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement program, and also cooperates with the Israeli military.
The Metropolitan Police said the company’s software would help «build trust, reduce crime and raise standards» in the UK.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian government recently announced that Palantir Technologies will be involved in analyzing solutions for infrastructure development and reconstruction in various regions.
