Amnesty International raised concerns about Palantir's negotiations with the Ministry of Justice, fearing the implications of using AI for calculating prisoners' reoffending risks.
Palantir's proposals include analyzing prison capacity and using state-held data to identify trends in reoffending and related factors like income and addiction.
Palantir's advanced software promises to integrate data for real-time updates on prison capacity, with claims it mirrors successes achieved during the Covid-19 vaccination rollout.
Peter Frankental from Amnesty International highlighted the risks associated with Palantir's growing influence in the justice system, emphasizing the ethical implications of using AI in sentencing.
