Palantir CEO Alex Karp has made it clear: their vision for the world is to defend the West against other cultures that “remain dysfunctional and regressive.”
In practice, this looks like Palantir providing the US military with software to deploy AI in its operations. It looks like providing ICE with an app to help them raid neighbourhoods. These partnerships have led to devastating results, including the miss-targeting and bombing ofMinab Elementary School.
The objective is not precision. It has never been. In the same way thatAI is used in Gaza, it is merely an excuse to target a list of people deemed to be enemies.
Despite this track record—or maybe because of it—Palantir is coming to Europe. In the UK, they secured a contract to roll out their technologies in the National Health Service.In Brussels, they’ve even opened an office.
And the expansion is working.El País reportedthat investors across Europe have already put more than $27 billion into the company.
Recently, I attended and spoke out at a Palantir event in Amsterdam. Called “Inside Palantir”, the event description said it would discuss 'fundamental questions' including digital sovereignty and transparency. Yet, they didn't invite any critical voices to participate in the discussion.
To us, this is the truly “dysfunctional and regressive” culture: the one in which states and corporations with power can act with impunity while cheering each other on in their echo chamber.
This is what we are working against.
Statewatch has always spoken out—whether invited to or not—and we will continue to do so.And in this case, despite being dragged out, I believe my call for justice echoed through the room and beyond.
