Deutschland setzt trotz Warnungen auf umstrittene US-Software Palantir

1. The debate about Palantir and digital self-determination
The discussion about the use of the US software Palantir in German authorities is more than a technical issue – it is a litmus test for the digital sovereignty of our country. Karl-Heinz Land puts it succinctly in his current column: While politics and administration speak of resilience and data sovereignty, reality threatens to undermine these values through dependence on US technology.
2. What is the study/column about?
Land analyzes Germany's structural dependence on US tech companies – from operating systems and cloud infrastructures to AI models. He views the discussion around Palantir particularly critically: a software governed by US law that is to be used for highly sensitive data of German authorities. Data protection advocates and media warn of geopolitical risks. Switzerland has already drawn consequences and is forgoing Palantir. Germany, on the other hand, hesitates – risking the loss of control over central state data.
3. Why is this relevant for neuland.ai?
