Palantir: profits, procurement and power | FT Film

Palantir is one of the world's most controversial technology companies. Its extraordinary growth was steered by a revolving door of executives moving between Palantir and the corridors of power in Washington and Westminster. It has won contracts with governments across the globe and some of the world's biggest companies but it's now under pressure from human rights activists, politicians and data specialists on both sides of the Atlantic. This FT film looks at the company's remarkable rise and examines what's next for Peter Thiel and Alex Karp's company #palantir #technology #ai #artificialintelligence #siliconvalley #peterthiel #alexkarp #donaldtrump #surveillance #nhs #nationalhealthservice #police #fdp #federateddataplatform #ice #immigration #israel #gaza #ukraine #washington #westminster #us #uk #data #datasecurity #bigdata #newyork #petermandelson #globalcounsel #politics #lobbying 00:00 Intro 00:58 Palantir under pressure 04:32 The origin story 05:39 Palantir's platforms 07:56 Palantir the defence contractor  09:23 Government and company contracts  10:16 The Palantir 'manifesto' 12:19 The tech company for the Trump age 14:22 The revolving door  15:44 How the UK welcomed Palantir with open arms 18:16 How Palantir won contracts with the NHS 20:23 The procurement process 23:45 Patient data is a trust issue  27:23 Palantir's future ► Enjoying FT content?
