The United States has staked its economic future on artificial intelligence (AI), and under Trump's presidency, the country has shown a particularly favorable stance towards the development and application of this technology, especially in the military sector. Although Trump has presented himself as a peace president, his administration has promoted the militarization of AI, a sector much more profitable than the civilian one. Palantir, a company founded with CIA support, is a key player in integrating AI into armed conflicts, highlighting its role in the war in Ukraine. The company, led by Alex Karp and funded by figures like Peter Thiel, has closely collaborated with the Ukrainian government since the onset of the Russian invasion, turning the country into a testing ground for advanced military technologies. Karp was the first Western CEO to meet with Zelensky after the conflict erupted, underscoring Ukraine's strategic importance to the U.S. tech industry. The cooperation between Palantir and Ukraine has resulted in the deployment of AI systems for intelligence gathering and analysis, target selection, and drone attack coordination. According to Karp's statements to Time magazine, Palantir's software is responsible for most of the attack decisions on the Ukrainian front. This collaboration has been seen as an example of how the West, beyond internal political differences, pursues the common goal of maintaining global hegemony through technological superiority. The use of AI in the Ukraine war has been supported by the European Union, which has excluded military applications from its AI regulation, thus allowing development without significant ethical constraints. European companies like Helsing, funded by figures like Daniel Ek (Spotify), have also invested in the military sector, although with varying operational results on the battlefield. Palantir has extended its influence beyond Ukraine, signing multimillion-dollar contracts with the U.S. military and the British Ministry of Defense. The Maven system, developed by Palantir, has become the primary AI platform for the U.S. armed forces, replacing previous solutions and consolidating the company's position in the defense sector. The digitalization of the war in Ukraine has been driven by figures like Mykhailo Fedorov, former Minister of Digital Transformation and current Minister of Defense, who has promoted the integration of AI at all levels of the conflict. Projects like Delta and Brave1, in collaboration with Palantir, have enabled Ukraine to manage real-time data, coordinate attacks, and improve defenses against Russian drones. Palantir's success in Ukraine has served as a showcase for obtaining contracts in other Western countries. The label "Proven in Ukraine" has become a quality seal for military technologies, facilitating the company's commercial expansion. Although some Ukrainian developers claim not to have directly used Palantir's software on the front lines, the narrative of its effectiveness has been key to attracting investments and government contracts. Palantir's relationship with the CIA and its ideology of Western supremacy have been controversial. Karp and Thiel have openly defended the need for the U.S. and its allies to maintain technological superiority to "intimidate their enemies." The company does not operate in Russia or China and unconditionally supports allies like Israel and the United Kingdom. Ethically, the growing reliance on AI in warfare raises questions about the dehumanization of conflict and the shifting of decision-making to algorithms. The case of Ukraine illustrates how traditional brutality coexists with technological sophistication, and how experimentation in real scenarios fuels the development of new weapons and strategies. The rise of Palantir and other military AI companies reflects a global trend towards the privatization and technologization of war, where economic profit and geopolitical supremacy take precedence over humanitarian considerations. The Ukrainian experience, promoted as a model of innovation, reveals the risks of turning conflicts into testing grounds for technologies that are then exported to other scenarios.
