Filmpremiere: "Watching You - Die Welt von Palantir und Alex Karp" mit Regie

PICK OF THE DAY
You cannot miss this event.
In the organizer's words:
Frankfurt premiere of the documentary "Watching You - The World of Palantir and Alex Karp".
In attendance and followed by a discussion with director Klaus Stern
With his company Palantir Technologies, US entrepreneur Alex Karp has created the successful yet controversial data analysis software "Gotham". On the one hand, it enables states to comprehensively monitor their citizens. On the other hand, it supports intelligence services, the military and police authorities, including in Germany, with information that can be used to solve crimes - or for targeted killings. Palantir is currently an important partner of Ukraine in the defense war against Russia.
The company is as secretive as it is mysterious. It became big with its work for the CIA and NSA. It is worth over 50 billion US dollars on the stock exchange. Osama Bin Laden is said to have been hunted down with its help. One of its founders, Peter Thiel, is a right-wing libertarian with rather bizarre views who openly supported Trump. The other, Alex Karp, describes himself as a neo-Marxist and leftist and is proud of the fact that his parents were hippies. Today, he is CEO of the largest commercial surveillance company in the world. He admits dryly: "Our product can be used to kill people."
The film is an investigative approach to one of Silicon Valley's most mysterious CEOs, who always seems to evade attention when too many eyes are on him.
