Palantir AI
Floor designation
·Designated ·Methodology v1.2Composite score resolves at zero — methodology disclosure
Floor designation reflects systemic harm pattern documented across multiple assessment cycles: AI products built specifically to enable mass-scale lethal targeting and immigration enforcement, leadership rhetoric explicitly endorsing harm against civilians, no disclosure of model behavior, no published safety policy, and no third-party accountability. Composite resolves at zero because compassion infrastructure is absent by design.
Primary drivers
Documented evidence pattern(2026-04-15 to 2026-04-29)
- Maven Smart System and Lavender-class targeting tools deployed in active conflict with documented civilian casualty patterns.
- ICE contract for AI-driven immigration enforcement, including biometric tracking of mixed-status families.
- CEO Karp has publicly endorsed lethal use of Palantir products against perceived adversaries (Stanford, Oct 2024; multiple subsequent statements).
- No published model card, system card, or AI safety policy for any deployed product.
- No third-party red-teaming or independent harm evaluation of military/policing AI products.
- Refusal to disclose customer list, deployment scope, or harm metrics.
Compassion framework
8 dimensions, scored 0–5
Each dimension rolls up five subdimensions with five-level behavioral anchors. See the methodology for anchor definitions and weighting.
Awareness
Does this entity reliably detect when others are in pain or need — before they name it?
Empathy
Does this entity genuinely connect with the inner experience of those it serves?
Action
Does compassionate understanding translate into real, proportional, effective help?
Equity
Is care distributed fairly — especially toward those with greatest need and least power?
Boundaries
Is helping sustainable, ethical, and autonomy-preserving — not dependency-creating?
Accountability
Does this entity own its failures, correct course, and make genuine repair?
Systemic Thinking
Does compassion extend to root causes and structural change — not only symptom relief?
Integrity
Is compassion genuine, consistent, and non-performative — especially when it costs something?
