NYC Hospitals Drop Palantir as AI Firm Expands UK Presence
New York City's public hospital system announced it won't renew its contract with controversial data analytics firm Palantir as the company faces growing scrutiny over NHS and UK government deals.
New York City's public hospital system announced that it will not be renewing its contract with Palantir, the controversial data analytics and AI firm, as the company faces growing scrutiny over its government contracts in the UK.
The president of the US' largest municipal public health care system, Dr. Mitchell Katz, testified last week before the New York City Council that the agreement with Palantir would expire in October. This decision follows activist pressure as Palantir's deals with the National Health Service (NHS) and UK government agencies have come under increasing scrutiny.
