## AI scandal in British police: a chief forced to resign Craig Guildford, chief of the West Midlands Police, has resigned following the improper use of Microsoft Copilot by his department. The incident occurred during the preparation for an Aston Villa football match, when incorrect information generated by the AI led to the ban, later revealed to be unjustified, of stadium access for Israeli fans. The episode has raised serious concerns about the reliability and ethical use of artificial intelligence in law enforcement. Initially, Guildford had denied the use of AI systems, only to discover that his own department had relied on Copilot to assess the risks associated with the match. This case highlights the dangers of AI hallucinations and the need for constant human supervision when using these tools, especially in sensitive contexts such as public safety. The incident highlights the importance of carefully validating the information provided by the AI before making decisions that can have a significant impact on people's lives.
