He added that Palantir’s software is like a single pane of glass that connects AI, data, and analytics to help inform the user about everything they need to know about their assets on the battlefield.

“There’s the kind of sexy, violent part of war, which obviously in this case for the commander would basically mean is, you’ll be ahead of your adversary, you’ll be able to predict their actions. Honestly, the most important thing Palantir does is prevent war,” Karp said in the interview.
