Summary
France's domestic intelligence agency (DGSI) plans to replace software tools from U.S. company Palantir with those from French rival ChapsVision, according to Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu. However, Palantir states its long-term contract with DGSI, renewed at the end of 2025, remains fully in force. The Prime Minister's office later clarified the transition process is likely to take several years, indicating a complex and gradual shift rather than an immediate replacement.
