Palantir wins three-month trial to access UK financial regulator's intelligence data, raising internal concerns

Palantir won a three-month trial contract to access intelligence data held by the UK's Financial Conduct Authority, raising internal concerns, The Guardian reported. The FCA holds confidential data about banks, trading firms, and individuals under investigation. Palantir's software would analyze this data for patterns indicating financial crime. FCA staff questioned whether granting a US defense contractor access to UK regulatory intelligence is appropriate.
