NHS England retracts Palantir AI benefits claim after probe · 2 sources tracked

NHS England has removed a claim from its website that 137 hospital trusts were benefiting from Palantir's AI-powered Federated Data Platform (FDP). This action follows an investigation by The Guardian, which found that 29 of the listed trusts were not using the technology or were using it minimally. Critics argue that NHS England has overstated the embeddedness and effectiveness of Palantir's system, leading to concerns about public trust and the potential extension of Palantir's contract. AI
