Watch Desk posted an update
Steven Richardson, a former Merseyside police officer, has landed a reported $400 million valuation for a new AI venture providing tools to police forces, the Financial Times reports. Sequoia is among the investors named in the report.
Why it mattersThat puts a sizeable price on AI aimed at policing, where the practical question is what the tools do and how forces use them. The supplied report summary does not specify either, so the valuation is the clear news for now, not evidence of any particular policing outcome.
Discuss: What should police forces have to disclose before adopting AI tools from private companies?
