UK Parliament's Home Affairs Committee has published its findings on West Midlands Police's misuse of Microsoft Copilot, which generated a hallucinated football match that influenced a real public order decision to bar Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters from an Aston Villa fixture. The report criticizes the force for allowing AI-generated misinformation to travel up the chain of command unchecked, and faults former chief constable Craig Guildford for failing to verify facts before testifying to Parliament. The episode led to Guildford's retirement and Copilot being suspended across the organization. The findings arrive as the UK government simultaneously plans to invest £115 million in a new National Centre for AI in Policing.
