Should the police ban the use of AI?

Tue, 24 Feb 2026

A Sky News exclusive has found that at least 21 police forces in England are still using Microsoft Copilot, despite it being at the centre of the Maccabi Tel Aviv incident last year.

In November, football fans of the Israeli team were banned from attending an away match against Aston Villa in Birmingham.

West Midlands Police had determined the risk was too high. The resulting outcry – including from the UK Prime Minister – led to the force’s Chief Constable standing down.

The force eventually admitted it had included false information provided by artificial intelligence software in justifying the decision.

So why are many other constabularies still using the same platform?

Niall speaks to Sky News Sports Correspondent Rob Harris following his investigation.

Microsoft has told Sky News it "continuously evaluates" Copilot and urges companies to review how they are using it.

Imagine being in a room surrounded by £64bn worth of gold.

It’s a glittering reality Sky’s economics and data editor Ed Conway experienced in one of 12 huge vaults below the Bank of England.
