Palantir AI Use in NHS and Military Sparks Harm and Public Backlash

What happened

Palantir's AI systems, deployed in the UK NHS and by US and Israeli authorities, have led to significant harm: reduced hospital operations in some NHS trusts, mass patient opt-outs due to mistrust, and reported human rights abuses in military and law enforcement contexts. Public protests and political pressure are mounting in response.
