Palantir's Secret Predictive Policing Program in New Orleans
Summary
In 2012, Palantir Technologies partnered with the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) to implement a predictive policing program aimed at identifying gang members and predicting violent crime. The program was not publicly disclosed and was established under a philanthropic partnership with the city's NOPD. The use of this technology raised concerns about algorithmic discrimination and wrongful arrests.
