Palantir CEO Alex Karp says AI “has dangers,” pushes back on Valley’s no-risk messaging
Alex Karp responded to Elon Musk and Sam Altman’s “singularity” talk by saying Silicon Valley often sells AI as if there were no downside.
- He argued AI carries real dangers, comparing its control problems to handling uranium.
- The point of his comment was not to deny AI progress, but to stress that who controls the technology matters.
- The clip was aired on Fox Business and framed as a reaction to Musk’s claim that AGI could arrive in 2026.
