Palantir Sparks Backlash with Manifesto Denouncing Inclusivity
The 22-point summary defends military AI, criticizes pluralism and inclusivity, and argues Silicon Valley has a duty to support national security.
- Surveillance and analytics company Palantir recently posted a "brief" 22-point summary of CEO Alexander Karp's book, The Technological Republic, denouncing what it calls "regressive" cultures and questioning the value of inclusivity.
- Written by Karp and Palantir head of corporate affairs Nicholas Zamiska, The Technological Republic was published last year and described by its authors as "the beginnings of the articulation of the theory" behind Palantir's work.
- The manifesto denounces the "postwar neutering of Germany and Japan," asserting the "defanging of Germany" was an overcorrection; similarly, the company claims "the atomic age is ending" while a new era of AI deterrence begins.
- After Palantir posted this on Saturday, Eliot Higgins, the CEO of investigative website Bellingcat, remarked it was "extremely normal and fine," though he argued the post attacks key democratic pillars like verification and accountability.
- The company's ideological stance faces scrutiny over its work with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement , as congressional Democrats recently demanded information about surveillance tools used in the Trump administration's deportation strategy.
