France to replace Palantir AI tools with domestic provider ChapsVision over sovereignty concerns
Summary
France plans to replace US-based Palantir's AI data tools with domestic provider ChapsVision for its intelligence agency DGSI, citing concerns about foreign powers controlling access to AI tools and a desire to avoid new strategic digital dependencies. Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu announced France will use its own AI models. Palantir's contract runs until 2025, making the transition likely multi-year. ChapsVision, founded in 2019, reported €200 million revenue in 2025 and has also been selected by Germany's BfV intelligence agency.
