Should Britain trust Palantir? | The Full Interview

Description

Palantir UK’s Louis Mosley speaks to Channel 4 News Technology and Science Editor Siobhan Kennedy on AI in Warfare, ICE contracts and NHS data. [Subscribe to our Substack newsletter: https://channel4news.substack.com/subscribe] In this full, hard-hitting interview, Louis Mosley, CEO at the controversial data analytics company Palantir, faces questions about the company's growing influence in the UK and its global operations. As Palantir embeds itself deeper into British institutions like the NHS and the Ministry of Defence, Mosley addresses widespread concerns regarding data privacy, the political leanings of its leadership (including CEO Alex Karp and Chairman Peter Thiel), and the ethical implications of their software. The interview covers Palantir's involvement in global conflicts, including Project Maven's use in military targeting in Iran (The Pentagon's investigation into the deadly February 2026 strike on a girls' school in Minab, Iran, remains ongoing); and the company's operations in Israel as well as its ongoing US immigration (ICE) contracts. Mosley also responds to the recent controversy surrounding the Metropolitan Police contract, questions about lobbying ties with Peter Mandelson and whether Louis Mosley feels he is unfairly associated with his grandfather, Sir Oswald Mosley, who founded the British Union of Fascists in 1932. ------- Timestamps 00:00 02:40 Is Palantir a "right-wing" company 02:40 08:45 IRAN: The Minab school bombing 08:45 10:03 GAZA: Is Palantir software being used by the IDF in Gaza? 10:03 14:39 ICE: Defending the US ICE contracts & Trump's immigration crackdown 14:39 21:26 The NHS Contract: Does Palantir have access to sensitive patient data? 21:26 25:39 Suing London Mayor Sadiq Khan over the Met Police contract 25:39 28:43 What was Peter Mandelson’s role in Palantir securing UK defence contracts? 28:43 30:35 Delivering results for Britain & facing questions about grandfather Oswald Mosley Get more news at our site - https://www.channel4.com/news/ Subscribe to our
