The bagel they save for the regulars. Don't skim, savour.
Summary
Palantir Technologies' AI platform is being used by the U.S. military to track and coordinate humanitarian aid deliveries in Gaza through its Gaia application. The system provides real-time battlefield visualization and logistics tracking, but raises concerns about private companies taking over aid delivery roles traditionally handled by NGOs, especially as Israel restricts humanitarian organizations. The article examines the implications of military-contractor partnerships in humanitarian operations and the potential conflicts of interest when profit-driven companies manage aid distribution.
