‘Technofascism’: Critics accuse Palantir of pushing AI war doctrine
✦ AI Brief
A book coauthored by a Palantir cofounder has sparked criticism from detractors who say it promotes the weaponisation of artificial intelligence by the US and its allies. The book argues that leading US tech firms have a "moral debt" to the US, which needs "hard power" fuelled by cutting-edge software to maintain global dominance. Critics describe the message as an example of technofascism and an ideological agenda that promotes a destructive clash of civilisations.
