The tech giant made thousands of engineers train their AI replacements--then fired them. When Meta engineer David Frenk posted an anti-AI farewell parody video in an internal message board, staff thought it perfectly captured shifts in company culture. Get your news from a source that's not owned and controlled by oligarchs. This week, Meta laid off 8,000 employees--10 percent of the company's staff--and reassigned another 7,000 to train AI models. Fear of the layoffs had been building around the company for weeks, compounded by the way that Meta has taken a sharp turn from a company built by coders to a company that has staked its future on AI.

London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan has been accused of putting politics over public safety after blocking a £50m contract between the Metropolitan Police and US tech firm Palantir. Scotland Yard had been in talks to use the company's artificial intelligence to speed up criminal investigations. Palantir's UK chief executive Louis Mosley also said the decision would give hostile states and criminals an advantage. The Met has previously warned it will have to cut officer numbers if the deal does not proceed. Palantir, founded by tech billionaire Peter Thiel, a prominent donor to US President Donald Trump, already holds contracts with other UK public sector bodies.

The boss of Standard Chartered has apologised after describing employees whose jobs are vulnerable to being replaced by Artificial Intelligence (AI) as lower value human capital. Discussing how automation was likely to lead to thousands of job cuts at the bank at a recent conference, Bill Winters said it wasn't about cost cutting but replacing, in some cases, lower value, human capital, with the financial capital and the investment capital that we're putting in. He later sought to contextualise the remarks via LinkedIn and said he was sorry for his wording, which had caused upset to some colleagues. He said he was committed to helping staff cope with the accelerating pace of change. The rise of AI tools has led to predictions of huge job losses, particularly for tech workers and graduates.

Sadiq Khan's office blocked Palantir's deal with the Met police, saying there had been a'clear and serious breach' of procurement rules.

London mayor accused of'putting politics above public safety' for rejecting deal to use AI in intelligence analysis Fri 22 May 2026 09.45 EDTLast modified on Fri 22 May 2026 09.55 EDT Palantir has accused Sadiq Khan of "putting politics above public safety" after the London mayor blocked its £50m contract with the Metropolitan police in a move that has also led to tensions inside Labour over its involvement with the US tech company. Louis Mosley, who heads Palantir in the UK and Europe, accused Khan of politicising procurement after he rejected a two-year deal for Scotland Yard to use AI to process intelligence in criminal investigations, as first revealed by the Guardian. Mosley said: "What Londoners value is not being mugged, not being raped by a serving police officer." The Met had planned to hire Palantir, which was co-founded by the Trump-supporting tech billionaire Peter Thiel, to automate aspects of investigations.
