James Deller, a Special Chief Officer in the Metropolitan Police, has been suspended after AI software identified 'sexual content' on his work phone. The monitoring software, created by Palantir Technologies, was implemented last month as part of a crackdown on internal standards, costing the Metropolitan Police £487,000. Deller is one of over 100 officers flagged by the system, which has led to a major internal investigation known as Operation Artificial, overseen by the Directorate of Professional Standards. While the investigation is serious, it is not classified as a criminal matter, and Deller has not been arrested nor faced criminal allegations. The flagged officers are under scrutiny for various issues, including fraud and sexual assault. The Met Police Federation has voiced concerns regarding the use of such technology, arguing that it fosters an environment of suspicion among officers.
