Palantir Chief Technology Officer Shyam Sankar has robustly defended the military application of artificial intelligence, aggressively pushing back against claims that algorithmic targeting systems are responsible for a recent international tragedy.
During a national television broadcast on Sunday, Sankar addressed the devastating bombing of a girls’ school in Iran, preemptively suggesting that investigative authorities will ultimately trace the deadly strike back to human operators.
The high-profile defence arrives as global watchdogs and lawmakers increasingly question the ethical and operational risks associated with deploying advanced technological platforms in active combat zones.
