Police chief blames AI for banning Maccabi Tel Aviv fans in apology to MPs
"West Midlands Police chief constable Craig Guildford has apologised to MPs for giving them erroneous evidence about the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, blaming the use of AI. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will make a statement to MPs after she received a report on the decision to bar Maccabi Tel Aviv football fans from attending a Europa League match against Aston Villa in November."
"The force referenced a match between the Israeli club and West Ham United that never happened in a report to the Birmingham City Council Safety Advisory Group over whether to prevent supporters from attending the game against Aston Villa in November. Mr Guildford told the Commons Home Affairs Committee in a letter that until Friday afternoon he believed the mistake was caused by using Google, when in fact it was the result of Microsoft Co Pilot."

Mr Guildford initially believed the mistake arose from using Google but later said it was the result of Microsoft Co Pilot. He offered a profound apology and said there was no intention to mislead the committee. A Home Office spokesperson acknowledged receipt of the Chief Inspectorate report.
