Palantir’s fourth-quarter earnings call turned into a geopolitical broadside as CEO Alex Karp blasted Canada and much of Europe for falling behind in the artificial intelligence race, casting the global economy as a looming conflict between “AI haves” and “have-nots.”
Speaking after Palantir reported 70% year-over-year revenue growth to $1.407 billion in the fourth quarter and a rule of 40 score of 127, Karp argued that the company’s performance exposed a widening gap between countries and institutions willing to overhaul themselves around advanced AI software and those content to tinker at the margins.
