Palantir says it cannot shut off NATO AI system as Europeans fear US tech dependence
- On Wednesday, Louis Mosley, Palantir's executive vice president for the UK and Europe, reassured NATO allies that the Maven Smart System has no "kill switch," asserting customers retain full operational control of the military AI platform.
- Disruptions to Ukraine's Starshield, SpaceX's military satellite communications service, last week heightened European concerns about reliance on US-made defense technology that could be remotely disabled during military operations.
- Mosley emphasized the platform operates independently of Palantir, stating, "It can absolutely be operated independently of us," and confirmed that staff running the system hold required security clearances.
- Despite Mosley's reassurances, Germany and France have not adopted Maven for their armed forces, citing concerns about relying on a US supplier amid frequent tensions between President Donald Trump and European leaders.
- European governments are weighing whether technical independence sufficiently addresses broader control concerns, with France already transitioning to ChapsVision, a French software company, for domestic intelligence operations.
