UK police chief resigns after AI-linked misinfo over football fan ban

Craig Guildford, chief constable of West Midlands Police, has retired amid criticism of the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from a Villa Park match, with Downing Street and the Home Secretary losing confidence in his leadership. An MPs' evidence report contained inaccuracies later attributed to Microsoft Copilot, an AI tool. The policing watchdog found confirmation bias and overstated risks in the force's evidence; the ICO will continue to review the actions. Acting chief Scott Green will lead as the force works to rebuild trust, with ongoing calls for accountability and potential resignations.
