UK Detective Under Investigation for Allegedly Using Microsoft Copilot to Assist in Criminal Case Decisions
A senior detective with Derbyshire Constabulary is under investigation for gross misconduct by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) over allegations of using Microsoft Copilot to assist in criminal case decisions. The detective is accused of using AI to make policy decisions, assess and manage risk, and inform investigative decisions, as well as inputting case-related sensitive operational and personal information into the tool. Derbyshire Police approved officers' use of Copilot in May 2025 for drafting reports and summarizing information, but explicitly prohibited inputting operational, sensitive or personal data; the investigation will examine usage between May 2025 and June 2026, and no conclusions have yet been reached.

Nvidia, Microsoft and others warn UK has one year to defuse data center protest risk
AI infrastructure companies including Nvidia, Microsoft and Cisco have submitted recommendations to the UK government, saying the UK has about 12 months to establish a "compact" that benefits communities, or it may face protests similar to those in the US that threaten data center construction. The SAIL working group recommends letting councils that approve data centers retain more tax revenue and establishing a local benefit framework. Organizations such as PauseAI UK and Foxglove criticized this approach as buying off communities with benefits, and noted that 15 community groups in Scotland are already opposing related projects.
