Palantir’s Europe head told Reuters that neither the company nor the US government can shut off the Maven AI system for a customer who has bought it. The comment is aimed at European concern about depending on a US defense system.
What the quote does not settle
Reuters is relaying Palantir’s Europe head. It is the vendor’s account of who holds the off switch, not an independent audit of the software.
