Boeing Partners with Palantir on Defense AI

A BCG survey of more than 1,000 GCC workers found the region ranks second worldwide for workplace AI adoption, with 87% using AI tools several times a week and 63% saying they would use AI without company authorization, highlighting a rising shadow-AI risk. Separately, Boeing’s Defense, Space & Security unit will deploy Palantir’s Foundry platform across more than a dozen defense production lines to standardize data analytics, improve supply-chain transparency and boost production efficiency for military aircraft, helicopters, satellites, missiles and related systems. The agreement also tasks Palantir with providing AI capabilities for several undisclosed classified efforts to support sensitive military missions, and executives said the collaboration will “turbocharge production and innovation.” Observers say the deal strengthens Palantir’s defense footprint amid recent large contracts and international expansion, though some analysts question valuation and competitive dynamics in the defense-AI market.
