The Metropolitan Police's volunteer chief, James Deller, was dismissed after AI software (Palantir) flagged his use of a work phone to capture and transfer intimate images.

Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The AI system (Palantir's Foundry) was actively used in the investigation and monitoring process, leading directly to the discovery of misconduct by a police officer. The misconduct involves abuse of trust and professional standards, which constitutes a violation of obligations under applicable law and ethical norms protecting fundamental rights and public trust. The AI system's involvement was pivotal in uncovering this harm, fulfilling the criteria for an AI Incident. The event is not merely a potential risk or a complementary update but a realized harm facilitated by AI use.[AI generated]
