  "AI Error" couldn't be further from the truth

    Iy is worth noting the apology wasn't for presenting the erroneous info from the "AI",or even for using the "AI". It was for falsely denying use of "AI". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c394zlr8e12t https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c394zlr8e12t

      Ah now I see. > "The summation in the House—it was a question that was asked in the House—was that West Midlands Police may have used AI on this particular occasion. We do not use AI. As for the real reason: > Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said West Midlands Police had "capitulated to Islamists" in the decision to ban Israeli fans. > She said the force "knew extremists were planning to attack Jews for going to a football match, and their response was to blame and remove Jewish people instead".

  He needs to go - he lied to MPs by denying that they use A.I. and now he's been caught out. We need accountability for decisions and if a senior person is asked questions by MPs, then they need to be as truthful as possible. This kind of misrepresentation was used by the Post Office to gaslight MPs.

    Agreed. Referring to West Midlands Police previously denying the use of AI in its report, Timothy posts on X: "They didn't just deny it to the home affairs committee. They denied it in FOI (Freedom of Information) requests. "They said they have no AI policy. So officers are using a new, unreliable technology for sensitive purposes without training or rules." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c394zlr8e12t https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c394zlr8e12t
