UK MPs warn Palantir's role in public services creates national security vulnerability

Summary

UK MPs on the Commons Science, Innovation and Technology Committee have warned that US tech company Palantir's involvement in transforming UK public services creates an "unacceptable point of weakness," potentially exposing sensitive information to foreign actors. The committee argues that reliance on a small number of US-based providers represents a clear vulnerability and is calling for a new strategy to reduce this dependence.
