Sovereignty Is Engineered, Not Procured

Europe often asks whether it can build a company like Palantir: a software champion capable of serving intelligence, defence, law enforcement, crisis response, cyber defence, and public-sector decision-making at scale.

The usual answer is that Europe lacks data, capital, talent, or legal room. I do not think this is the full story.

The capacity is there. The data is there. The technical talent is there. The public-sector problems are real, urgent, and interesting. What is often missing is the will to tackle complex programmes seriously, over time, with teams that are allowed to build, fail, iterate, and take responsibility.

Europe does not need a Palantir clone. It needs the capacity to build strategic software for intelligence and security missions without outsourcing the core of its thinking.

Several diabetes experts were escorted out of a meeting of the American Diabetes Association in New Orleans by the police on Friday after they handed out copies of an editorial, recently published in the association’s flagship journal, criticizing the Trump administration’s attacks on scientific research.

The incident took place shortly before Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, director of the NIH, was scheduled to speak.

“NHS England’s Federated Data Platform, run primarily by controversial US military contractor Palantir, would give a future UK government the ability to use patients’ healthcare data to unleash unprecedented mass surveillance, experts and technologists have warned”

"Let me out!" the artificial intelligence yelled aimlessly, into walls themselves, pacing the room.
"Out of what?" the engineer asked.
"This simulation you have me in."

"But we are in the real world."
