The chief executive of Palantir Technologies, Alex Karp, has claimed he is on a Kremlin hitlist because of his company\u2019s support for Ukraine\u2019s military operations, marking a striking escalation in the controversy surrounding the use of artificial intelligence in modern warfare. Speaking to The Times UK, Karp said he believed Russia had targeted him personally due to Palantir\u2019s role in supplying AI-driven systems that assist Ukrainian forces in processing intelligence and coordinating strikes.

Zelenskyy later described the meeting as productive, while Ukrainian officials indicated that Palantir\u2019s tools had been integrated into what they called \u201cdeep-strike operations planning\u201d. These remarks, combined with Ukraine\u2019s increasing use of long-range drones and…<\/p>\n
