The money, from the federal government’s COVID-19 relief fund, is for Palantir Gotham licenses, according to a contract record reviewed by. That technology is designed to draw in data from myriad sources and, regardless of what form or size, turn the information into a coherent whole. The “platform” is customized for each client, so it meets with their mission needs, according to Palantir.
Neither HHS nor Palantir had commented on the specifics of the latest contract at the time of publication, but aPalantir Gotham is slightly different to Foundry, a newer product that’s aimed more at general users rather than data science whizzes, with more automation than Gotham. As, Foundry is being used by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to ingest information from all manner of hospitals across America to see where best to provide more or less resource.
Palantir is now working with at least 12 governments on their responses to coronavirus, according to two sources with knowledge of its COVID-19 work. That includes the U.K.’s National Health Service, which is using Foundry for similar purposes as the CDC. Despite the ostensibly controversy-free deal with the British health body, the reception was somewhat frosty. That was, in part, because of Palantir’s links to the U.S. military intelligence complex; it was funded by the CIA’s venture capital fund, In-Q-Tel, and was said to have helped find Osama bin Laden. The uneasiness from privacy bodies was also related to Palantir’s work with Immigration Customs Enforcement , which has drawn some criticism from human rights groups.
