1132 ET - Palantir CEO Alex Karp says there are "lots of reasons" to restrict the use of artificial-intelligence tools for domestic law enforcement. "They are so powerful, they could proxy eviscerate, even if they're within the context of the law, the rights that were given to us by a higher being in the First, Second, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments," he says in a CNBC interview. The use of AI for mass domestic surveillance was a key sticking point in Anthropic's dispute with the Pentagon, which demanded to use Anthropic's technology in all lawful-use cases. Karp, whose company, according to WSJ, deployed Claude in tools used by the Pentagon in its Venezuela operation, said privacy concerns under the Fourth Amendment don't extend to adversaries on the battlefield.(elias.schisgall@wsj.com)
