Palantir is one of the world's most controversial technology companies. Its extraordinary growth was steered by a revolving door of executives moving between Palantir and the corridors of power in Washington and Westminster. It has won contracts with governments across the globe and some of the world's biggest companies but it's now under pressure from human rights activists, politicians and data specialists on both sides of the Atlantic. This FT film traces its extraordinary rise and examines what's next for Peter Thiel and Alex Karp's software group. #shorts #shortsvideo #shortfeed #shortsviral #shortsyoutube #shortsvideos ► Enjoying FT content?
