Coventry council to review Palantir contract after protests about IDF link

Coventry City Council is reviewing a £500,000-a-year contract with the US technology company Palantir after protests from unions, workers, and councillors over the firm's links to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). The contract, which was the first of its kind in the UK, involved the deployment of Palantir's artificial intelligence technology into the council's systems. Protesters have expressed concerns over Palantir's involvement in the US government's immigration crackdown and its work with the NHS. The review was announced by Coventry's Labour leadership following the initial report in the Guardian.
