UK MPs Find Police Used Faulty Copilot Intelligence
UK Home Affairs Committee published findings on how West Midlands Police used Microsoft Copilot in November's Aston Villa fixture review, concluding the chatbot hallucinated a non-existent West Ham match that influenced intelligence assessments. MPs say the false claim reached senior leaders, including former chief constable Craig Guildford, and was not properly vetted during a January 6 evidence session. The report calls for stricter AI provenance, transparency and governance amid the government's planned £115 million Police.AI rollout over three years.
