Deep Dive: What Palantir Actually Does (...

Public.com
About this episode

Palantir began as a counterterrorism tool and has grown into one of the most influential—and debated—tech companies in the world. In this episode, we explore what Palantir actually does, how it gained traction through government work, and why its AI tools are being adopted by both corporations and militaries. We look at its rise from CIA backing to commercial success, and the questions it faces around privacy, surveillance, and global deployments.
