NHS grants Palantir contractors unlimited access to patient data

The UK National Health Service is set to grant Palantir Technologies contractors unlimited access to patient data, according to reporting by the Financial Times. This decision comes amid growing concerns about the defense contractor's trustworthiness, fueled by a recent 22-point manifesto posted to Palantir's social media account that included calls for universal military service and advancement of AI weapons. The contract, which began in 2020 as a one-pound pandemic arrangement, has evolved into a relationship worth nearly 400 million pounds.
