There is a little bit of a political kerfuffle underway in the UK regarding police being overcautious in banning a group of supporters for a football (soccer) match. The political focus has brought some awkward evidence gathering to light that may not have been noticed with something more mundane.
What is interesting to HN is that the police may have used AI summaries to determine the risk, and the AI/Search gave them the wrong information. Essentially they relied on Google or copilot (it is not clear which) to inform them of a riot at a match that didn't even take place. Police intelligence relying on public search and AI that is hallucinating is probably as common as it is worrying.
