France Dumps Palantir for Domestic AI Over Sovereignty Concerns
France’s domestic intelligence service will replace US tech company Palantir’s AI data tools with those from French firm ChapsVision to avoid “strategic dependency” in the digital sphere. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu stated that France must develop its own AI models and cannot rely on tools from foreign powers, citing concerns over potential access restrictions. This move aligns with broader European government anxieties about their reliance on US-controlled technologies. ChapsVision’s technology, which focuses on data collection, preparation, and analysis, has also reportedly been selected by Germany’s internal security service.
