Palantir CEO Alex Karp has accused leading artificial intelligence labs OpenAI and Anthropic of trying to make businesses dependent on their models by demanding intellectual property from them. He insisted companies should retain control over their own models and data.
Karp argued that current AI models are not delivering practical value for businesses. He also rejected criticism of Chinese AI models for copying U.S. technology, saying Chinese models cannot be blamed when frontier labs have already extracted the full value of intellectual property everywhere.
His comments come as Palantir reported strong financial results, with revenue surging significantly year over year. OpenAI and Anthropic have been preparing for public listings.
