12:06Now PlayingA manifesto from Palantir Technologies is sparking debate about the future of war, AI, and global power.
The Silicon Valley firm, known for its work with governments, militaries and intelligence agencies, has published a 22-point document outlining its views on national service, international order and the role of artificial intelligence in warfare.
The manifesto argues that AI-driven conflict is inevitable, and that the key question is who will build these systems, and for what purpose.
It also calls for the return of compulsory national service and questions long-standing postwar security arrangements in countries like Germany and Japan.
In this interview, cybersecurity expert Lukasz Olejnik breaks down what this reveals about the growing role of private tech companies in shaping defense policy, and the risks posed by AI-enabled warfare.
Key questions:
Is AI warfare really inevitable?
How should ethics shape military technology?
Are tech companies becoming geopolitical actors?
