Palantir's AI Is Playing a Major Role in Tracking Gaza Aid Deliveries

6 hours ago

Palantir is providing AI technology to track aid deliveries in Gaza through the U.S.-led CMCC.
NGOs are being banned from Gaza, allowing private companies like Palantir to take over aid distribution, raising concerns about profit-driven motives.
Palantir's AI platforms, Gotham and Foundry, can potentially integrate aid data with military targeting systems, blurring the line between humanitarian aid and warfare.
The company has a strategic partnership with the Israeli military, and its technology has been used in military operations in Gaza.
Humanitarian principles are being undermined as aid delivery becomes militarized and controlled by private entities.
The CMCC is expanding its role, with private military contractors like Safe Reach Solutions and Arkel International playing significant roles.
Reconstruction plans for Gaza are being framed as financial opportunities, with real estate conglomerates envisioning large-scale developments.
Critics warn that Gaza is becoming a testing ground for surveillance and AI technologies that could be used globally.
