A memo from Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg confirms the Pentagon will designate Palantir's Maven AI as an official program of record, embedding its weapons-targeting technology across all US military branches by September 2026.
Palantir CEO Alex Karp publicly criticized Anthropic's reluctance to work with the U.S. Department of Defense, arguing that AI companies refusing government defense contracts are undermining national security and that there has 'never been a sense' that such restrictions are justified.
Palantir reports record Q4 earnings with 70% revenue growth and 137% commercial growth, demonstrating real AI-driven results amid sector turmoil.
Speaking at Davos, Palantir CEO Alex Karp argued that AI enhances civil liberties by providing granular transparency in decision-making. He also issued a stark warning that Europe is structurally falling behind the US and China in technology adoption.
The Trump administration is partnering with Palantir to use its AI technology, dubbed the 'Ironman suit,' to identify and combat fraud across various government agencies.
