Palantir Contract Under Fire | London News
Description
Another parliamentary committee is demanding the government scrap a $330 million NHS contract with Palantir, citing deep public and medical mistrust over data privacy, ethical concerns, and Palantir’s military ties. MPs urge a break clause and UK-based alternatives, while over 100 NHS workers warn the software risks patient safety and is technologically underwhelming. Palantir defends its role in boosting diagnoses and surgeries, but critics insist the NHS must retain control of its data and prioritize ethics over profit, sparking a national debate on private tech’s role in public health.
