Politico reports the EU is trying to phase out software from the US company Palantir, a move it casts as a test of Europe's digital sovereignty. A NATO official told Politico the alliance itself uses Palantir AI for satellite imagery and combat operations.
Digital sovereignty is the EU's effort to cut its dependence on US technology in state and military systems and to run critical software under European control. It sets EU institutions pushing for home-grown alternatives against American providers and the allied bodies already built on their tools.
Politico reported that the EU is trying to phase out software from the US company Palantir, and that the success of the effort will determine Europe's digital sovereignty, according to TASS.
