UK urged to end contract with US AI-firm Palantir 03.06.2026

British lawmakers are urging the UK government to terminate its £330-million ($443 million) contract with US AI firm Palantir, which was signed in 2023 for use by the National Health Service. A report by the parliamentary Commons Science, Innovation and Technology committee expressed concerns about an "unacceptable point of weakness" stemming from an over-reliance on US data providers, warning that public services could be vulnerable to foreign actors. The committee advocates for the UK to pursue technology sovereignty by either finding domestic alternatives or developing its own systems, suggesting a break clause be used next year to end the contract.
