The former head of the Central Operative Unit of the Civil Guard has stated that his superiors asked him to not be proactive in the investigation against David Sánchez, brother of the President of the Government. According to his testimony, the then director general described the judicial request as malicious and ordered a report concluding that there were no criminal indications.
The use of artificial intelligence systems to detect biases in investigations 🤖
In the technical field, this case raises a debate about the implementation of data analysis tools and machine learning algorithms to audit the chain of command in sensitive investigations. Systems like those used in the UCO to track communications could be applied to identify patterns of hierarchical pressure, although their use would require transparency protocols and an immutable record of orders to prevent document manipulation.
The good boss's manual: ask for a report that says what you want to hear 📋
If politics teaches us anything, it's that the method of asking for a conclusive report before investigating is almost as effective as looking for keys only under the lamppost because that's where the light is. The UCO has powerful computers to cross-reference data, but apparently the commanders prefer to use the emotional Ctrl+Z command: if you don't see it, it doesn't exist. Good thing technology can't erase statements made in court.
