France to ditch Palantir’s AI data tools in favour of domestic provider

France's domestic intelligence service will no longer use AI data tools from the US tech company Palantir, opting instead for a domestic provider called ChapsVision. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu stated this decision is to avoid 'strategic dependencies' and ensure France develops its own AI models, rather than relying on tools from foreign powers. This move reflects a broader concern about national sovereignty in the digital sphere. The initiative aims to enhance national security and technological independence by fostering domestic innovation and reducing reliance on US-controlled tools.
