The Metropolitan Police have received a 12-month extension for their pilot AI project with Palantir, following London Mayor Sadiq Khan's decision to block a £50 million deal. This extension allows the Met to conduct a new procurement process for a long-term supplier. The AI system, Customer Service Engine, is used to identify potential misconduct and improve professional standards among officers by analyzing existing data. Palantir expressed pride in the software's effectiveness in identifying officer misconduct, and the Met's commissioner highlighted the system's ability to proactively identify risks and intervene before harm occurs.
