Palantir’s manifesto: How tech is trying to redefine war and power

The manifesto argues that AI-driven conflict is inevitable, and that the key question is who will build these systems, and for what purpose. It also calls for the return of compulsory national service and questions long-standing postwar security arrangements in countries like Germany and Japan. In this interview, cybersecurity expert Lukasz Olejnik breaks down what this reveals about the growing role of private tech companies in shaping defense policy, and the risks posed by AI-enabled warfare. Key questions: Is AI warfare really inevitable? How should ethics shape military technology? Are tech companies becoming geopolitical actors?
