The United States — United States Department of Defense has officially adopted Palantir' Maven artificial intelligence system as a program of record, ensuring its long-term use and funding across the U.S. military. This decision, announced in a March 9 letter by Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg, aims to enhance warfighting capabilities by providing advanced tools for detecting and targeting adversaries. Maven, already the primary AI operating system for the U.S. military and used in thousands of strikes against Iran, will see its oversight transferred from the United States — Central Intelligence Agency to the United States — United States Department of Defense's Artificial intelligence. The United States will manage future contracting with Palantir. This move is a major win for Palantir, contributing to a doubling of its stock price and a market value of nearly $360 billion.
