New York City hospitals drop Palantir as controversial AI firm expands in UK

The decision follows activist pressure as Palantir faces growing scrutiny over NHS and UK government deals

The Guardian

It seems like letting a company like Palantir anywhere near private medical data is a pretty bad idea. I am happy NYC is doing this.

Palantir builds software that customers use to work with their own data. Custody of the data remains with the customer.

This is like saying a hospital that uses Excel is handing over data to Microsoft.

while I understand the meaning here, modern Excel does handover data to Microsoft (via Copilot)...

And 365 (I'm sure there is an on-premises version, but when not).
