A manifesto published by the American technology company Palantir has sparked an international debate on the role of the technology industry in security, politics and the economy. The document, distributed on the social network X and based on the book “The Technological Republic” (2025) by the company’s CEO Alex Karp and Nicholas Zamiska, presents a vision for the role of the US and Silicon Valley in the global order.
The text emphasizes the superiority of the West, especially the United States, and argues that the technology industry should play an active role in national defense and the fight against crime. The manifesto suggests increasing cooperation between technology companies and security forces, and emphasizes the importance of artificial intelligence in the development of military capabilities and advanced defense systems.
Palantir, known for its data analysis activity and cooperation with US government agencies such as ICE, has long been at the center of criticism from international organizations and analysts, who raise concerns about the use of technology in security operations and conflicts.
The strongest reaction to the manifesto came from former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis, who called it a “dangerous ideology.” In a public response, he argued that the vision presented by Palantir is linked to economic interests and aims to expand the market for security and defense technologies.
According to him, the document reflects an approach that favors the increased role of corporations in state policies and in the development of technologies for military use. He also raised concerns about the impact of these developments on democratic balances and the use of technology in current conflicts.
The debate over Palantir's manifesto reflects the growing tension between rapid technological development, economic interests and global security concerns. At a time when artificial intelligence and data analytics are taking on an ever-increasing role, experts emphasize the need for greater regulation and transparency in the use of these technologies.
