A.I. in general, when tied to police making is, which is the main offering of palantir (count their press releases that mention it) is a way to justify ends.
want to continue to subjulgate a minority?
pre 70s: racial laws
70s: science says this totaly not racially inclined test will select the best humans for a job.
80s: red zoning and other purely financial reasons
...
A.I.: the "data" says so.
with AI, just like the other methods, you can justify anything. juicy contracts to your brother in law firm? the data says so. a tank for your police dept? the data says so.
That is what palantir sells. insidious justification, disguised as a dashboard.
