Pentagon Adopts Palantir AI for Military Use, Locks in Long-Term Weapon Targeting

• Palantir's Maven AI system will become an official program of record, ensuring its long-term use across the U.S. military.
• Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg stated Maven provides warfighters with tools to "detect, deter, and dominate our adversaries."
• The decision, effective by September, streamlines Maven's adoption and secures stable, long-term funding.
• Maven is a command-and-control software analyzing battlefield data and identifying targets, already used for thousands of strikes against Iran.
• The move is a significant win for Palantir, boosting its stock and market value, despite ethical concerns about AI weapons targeting.
