Palantir

Palantir provides AI-powered data analysis platforms for governments, militaries, and enterprises.

Palantir is an American company that creates a data analysis AI platform for the government, military, and corporations. It was founded by PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel and grew through cooperation with U.S. intelligence agencies, including tracking terrorism. Its flagship products are Gotham for Government, Foundry for Enterprise, and AIP, which integrates generative AI into the workplace.

In the generative AI boom, Palantir has been re-evaluated as a company that connects AI to real-world organizational decisions. Rather than creating the model itself, it took control of the software layer that connects multiple AI models with the organization's data and tasks to make them executable. As a representative AI beneficiary in the U.S. stock market, its stock price soared and it became a hot topic among individual investors.

It is also a company that is always subject to ethical controversies surrounding its use for military and surveillance purposes and an extremely high stock price evaluation relative to its performance.
