Metropolitan Police confirms Palantir AI pilot to flag officer misconduct patterns

Scotland Yard has acknowledged a time-limited pilot using Palantir Foundry to analyse HR data — including sickness levels, absence records and overtime — across its 46,000 officers and staff, looking for patterns correlated with past professional standards failures. The Police Federation warned against automated suspicion; Liberal Democrat MPs raised oversight questions in Parliament. The Met stressed that human officers review all algorithmic flags and make final decisions.
