Dearlove argues Palantir uniquely adapted modern democratic security structures to the world of data.
“pull together the diversity and complexity of a modern democratic security structure and make it, let's say, fully adapt it to the world of data in a way that no one else has seemed to have had the conceptual approach.”
Dearlove says Palantir's core capability is layering over legacy systems to make them intelligent and interoperable.
“What Palantir does brilliantly is you can stick it over the top of all these legacy systems and make them much more intelligent and get them to talk to each other.”
Dearlove describes Palantir's solution as seeming magical because he thought it was impossible.
“some of us, I think this is magic because it didn't think it was possible.”
Dearlove explains Palantir's core achievement is making disparate legacy intelligence systems communicate through an overlay layer.
“What Palantir does brilliantly is you can stick it over the top of all these legacy systems and make them much more intelligent and get them to talk to each other.”
Dearlove says Palantir's sinister reputation is completely misplaced due to public misunderstanding.
“the reputation you've earned, the sinister reputation is completely misplaced because people don't really understand what the achievements of Palantir are.”
