Palantir CEO Alex Karp on Monday renewed his criticism of frontier artificial intelligence labs, arguing enterprises should not be forced to give up their intellectual property to work with model makers. “We have people trying to drug addict us to a future they [frontier AI models] believe they control,” Karp said in an exclusive interview with CNBC. He said Anthropic’s Dario Amodei and crew want to “march into a future where we own nothing, where our businesses aren’t profitable, where none of us have jobs, and where our adversaries win.” Instead, Karp said enterprises should control their own models and work with companies like Palantir that offer an application layer, allowing businesses to keep data in-house. Anthropic and OpenAI have said over the last month that customer data is secure and isn’t used to train their models, with OpenAI stating businesses must explicitly opt in for data use in model improvement. Karp said every enterprise he interacts with, including major government enterprises, questions why they would pay for something not useful without controlling the means to advance their business. CNBC has reached out to Anthropic and OpenAI for comment. Karp first publicly targeted OpenAI and Anthropic in early July, sparking debate with support from figures like Chamath Palihapitiya, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, and JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon.
