In his book, &#8220;The Technological Republic: Hard Power, Soft Belief, and the Future of the West,&#8221; Karp argues that America risks losing its military edge to geopolitical rivals who better harness commercial technology. <\/p>\n<p>He calls for the &#8220;engineering elite of Silicon Valley&#8221; to work with the government on national defense. The message comes as Palantir&#8217;s stock has surged more than 1,800% since early 2023, pushing its market value above $292 billion &#8212; exceeding traditional defense contractors Lockheed Martin and RTX combined. The company has expanded its military AI work since 2018, when it took over a Pentagon contract after Google employees protested their company&#8217;s defense work.<\/p>\n<div class=\"share_submission\" style=\"position:relative;\">\n<a class=\"slashpop\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/home?status=Palantir+CEO+Calls+for+Tech+Patriotism%2C+Warns+of+AI+Warfare%3A+https%3A%2F%2Fnews.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F25%2F02%2F20%2F0333203%2F%3Futm_source%3Dtwitter%26utm_medium%3Dtwitter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/twitter_icon_large-189.png\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"slashpop\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F25%2F02%2F20%2F0333203%2Fpalantir-ceo-calls-for-tech-patriotism-warns-of-ai-warfare%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/facebook_icon_large-104.png\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.slashdot.org\/story\/25\/02\/20\/0333203\/palantir-ceo-calls-for-tech-patriotism-warns-of-ai-warfare?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed\">Read more of this story<\/a> at Slashdot.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/slashdot.org\/slashdot-it.pl?op=discuss&amp;id=23615201&amp;smallembed=1\" style=\"height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Palantir CEO Alex Karp warns of &#8220;coming swarms of autonomous robots&#8221; and urges Silicon Valley to support U.S. defense capabilities.
