Event Overview
Palantir CEO Alex Karp criticized frontier AI labs, specifically OpenAI and Anthropic, during an appearance on CNBC's 'Squawk Box'.

Palantir also released a 9-point manifesto advocating for 'AI sovereignty,' which encourages companies to maintain absolute control over their own data and AI weights.
