Khan’s stance puts him at odds with the UK government which has a £330m NHS England deal with Palantir
Wait. Isn’t NHS the National Health Service, UK’s public health thingy? What do they want Palantir’s surveillance software for?
Scotland Yard said Khan’s move was “disappointing”, adding that without new technology it would have to cut officer numbers which would in turn affect the force’s ability to keep London safe.
How so? I thought AI surveillance was supposed to reduce the number of officers needed, why do they need to reduce the number of officers when they don’t get that crap?
[Labour MP Stella Creasy] said: “To hear the CEO of Palantir using the serious matter of sexual abuse by Met officers to attack the mayor of London for rejecting his company and so cutting his profits shows exactly why Palantir are not fit to lecture anyone on values.”
I mean, there are more reasons, but yes, that’s an example.
Handle all the super sensitive health data of the entire country I suppose. Why? Anything wrong with the most evil techno-fascist data company from a foreign country handling that data?
