Background & analysis
According to The Guardian, WhatsApp messages show that Palantir lobbied UK health minister Zubir Ahmed MP to push its AI technology into general practitioner (GP) records across the NHS. The company argued that its software would be suited to joining up primary and secondary care data. GP records had previously been explicitly excluded from Palantir's £330 million NHS data platform contract. The report also notes that doctors fear the move could undermine patient trust. At this stage, the disclosure remains at the reporting stage, with no confirmed follow-up from officials.
