Can Palantir And AI Transform The UK For The Better?

Palantir UK chief Louis Mosley joins Secrets of Statecraft to discuss how the company’s technology is transforming warfare, healthcare, and policing—from supporting Ukraine and NATO on the battlefield to connecting NHS data and helping police tackle crime and misconduct. Andrew and Louis explore the political controversy surrounding Palantir, the extraordinary promise and potential dangers of artificial intelligence, and how AI could reshape intelligence, productivity, and the balance of power. The conversation concludes by looking back to Ernest Bevin, the creation of NATO, and the postwar settlement for lessons about how the West might navigate another era of technological and geopolitical upheaval.

Even as European capitals have become increasingly critical of Israeli policies and imposed restrictions on arms exports to Israel, they turn to Israeli manufacturers for some of the military technologies they need most urgently.
