The history and function of Palantir Technologies are examined through a 2009 interview with CEO Alex Karp. Karp argues that Palantir's "predicate-based research" protects civil liberties by creating an indisputable audit trail of how government data is used. The system was famously used to help the Dalai Lama identify cyber-infiltrators, demonstrating its ability to track specific data migration rather than casting a wide surveillance net.
