Silicon Valley CEOs are increasingly making the case that their technologies can transform the way that wars are fought. And of all the companies involved in this military-tech boom, one stands out: Palantir.
Branding itself as America First, the data analytics firm has won billions of dollars in contracts and makes no apologies for the need to kill people – if that’s what it takes to protect Western interests.
Tariq Nafi reports on how the company sells a sleek, one-click solution to warfare.
Featuring:
Juan Sebastian Pinto – Former Palantir employee
Matt Mahmoudi – Researcher, Amnesty Tech
Elke Schwarz – Author, Death Machines: The Ethics of Violent Technologies
Produced by Ella Willis and Tariq Nafi.
