Donald Trump Tasks Palantir With Expanding U.S. Authoritarian Surveillance

The spectre of Artificial Intelligence has cast its shadow over humanity, haunting it with nightmares of a dystopian hellscape under the oppression of a technocratic elite which may be too formidable to ever defeat. The inherently exponential growth of AI means that nightmare is becoming a reality even more quickly than anticipated. Its advent brings with it fears over the erosion of social constructs fundamental to humanity. Among those fears is the deleterious impact the use of AI-powered technocratic systems in the hands of the government will have on civil liberties.

With the near certainty that AI integration will inevitably strengthen the iron-fisted grip government has over its people, the endgame of that technocratic revolution ultimately looks as if it will arrive at tyranny.

The weight of that proverbial Sword Of Damocles hanging over the heads of Americans has become evermore apparent following a New York Times report that the Trump administration has tapped Palantir Technologies to use its AI platforms to facilitate the integration of databases across disparate federal agencies. In doing so, the federal government is poised to build a national database capable of wielding unparalleled surveillance powers over American citizens.

Palantir has added more than $23bn to its market capitalisation since Donald Trump was elected U.S. president this month, as investors bet the secretive government contractor will be among the biggest winners of enhanced federal spending on national security, immigration and space exploration.

The latest stock rise adds to a blistering rally for Palantir in the past year, with its shares up having almost tripled to $61 per share, giving the company a value of almost $140bn.

The U.S. government is its largest client. Agencies from the CIA and National Security Agency to the armed forces and police have deployed its systems to track down terrorists, stop hackers, deport illegal immigrants and charge financial fraudsters. Palantir’s technology was used to murder al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, and distribute the Covid-19 Vaccines on the American public..
