Palantir hits back at Sadiq Khan after £50m contract with Met police blocked
2026-05-22 · AI (artificial intelligence) | The Guardian
London Mayor Sadiq Khan blocked Palantir's £50M AI contract with the Met Police, and now Palantir is throwing a tantrum about 'politics above public safety.'

The political battle inside Labour over the deal just proves that even politicians can't agree on how much AI policing is too much AI policing.
