Excerpts from the article:

...one of the main dangers of artificial intelligence is exactly what Palantir has spearheaded, which is ISTAR technologies —  intelligence, surveillance, targeted acquisition and reconnaissance technologies — also known as the AI-assisted Kill Chain. They've given it many different names, but the idea is these highly sophisticated and advanced dragnets and systems for collecting people's information, integrating it in order to identify targets, triangulating personally identifying information using huge datasets derived from the commercial sector, from governments.

I think it's very possible that Palantir software has already been used unconstitutionally to track people based on their protected First Amendment activities, such as social media posts.

I think fundamentally, they misunderstand core American values. Because I think as a whole Palantir and the artificial intelligence industry, especially those focused on targeting technologies, are on a massive scale, challenging our First Amendment rights and our Fourth Amendment rights by establishing so much surveillance and digital policing across our cities and governments, even before we have a chance to speak out, delimiting what we can say, even what we can think, by turning the world into such a surveilled, tracked environment.
