- France's domestic intelligence agency DGSI is ending its contract with Palantir, replacing it with French firm ChapsVision.
- This reflects European concerns over dependency on U.S. tech, with Prime Minister Lecornu emphasizing the need for France to develop its own AI tools.
- Other countries like Germany and the U.K. are also reducing or reviewing their use of Palantir due to political and security concerns.
- France plans to invest €655 million in AI, including creating a shared chatbot for state services and a public health chatbot.
