About this episode

Alex Karp discusses the future of AI and the implications for corporate America in this episode of The Higher Standard.

Alex Karp went on CNBC to talk about Palantir’s new Nvidia initiative, but what came out was much bigger than a partnership announcement. In this episode, Chris and Saied break down what Palantir actually does, why Gotham, Foundry, Apollo, and AIP matter, and why Karp believes the next phase of AI is not consumer chatbots — it is controlled, sovereign, mission-critical AI inside governments, militaries, banks, hospitals, factories, and critical infrastructure. The conversation becomes a larger debate over whether AI labs like OpenAI and Anthropic have oversold the dream, whether enterprises are wasting money on token economics, and whether corporate America fears its proprietary data, IP, and “alpha” are being absorbed by model providers. This is not just a Palantir episode. It is a conversation about who controls the future of AI: private labs, public governments, or the companies building the operating layer between them. 💥 Have you left your "honest ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️" review?
