Alex Karp · CNBC Television · Palantir CEO Alex Karp says 'something has gone completely wrong' with how AI is sold
“WE, WE NOW SELL A PRODUCT TO CUSTOMERS THAT ALLOWS YOU TO SWITCH FROM MODEL TO MODEL BECAUSE. AND WE'RE COMPLETELY AGNOSTIC, BUT WE NEED TO REBUILD TRUST. AND THAT TRUST IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHERE EVERYONE GETS TO ASK, ASK AND ANSWER BASIC QUESTIONS. WHO OWNS THE DATA? WHERE IS IT CACHED? ARE THE PROMPTS SECURE?”
Key terms
- agnostic
- — Not tied to any one supplier's technology, so a customer can use whichever model they choose.
- cached
- — Stored temporarily by a system, which raises the question of where a customer's data ends up.
- prompts
- — The instructions or questions a user types into an AI model, which can contain sensitive business information.
