CNBC interviewer asked Palantir CEO Alex Karp how he would defend Wall Street’s concern that AI could replicate what Palantir is doing.
Karp defended by basically saying that AI companies may have great engineers, but they do not deeply understand the messy, high-stakes enterprise problems Palantir solves on the ground.

Alex Karp: "No one in enterprise factually is worried.
I've spent all my life, for better or worse, dealing with the most complicated, most interesting enterprises. I'm on the ground floor of that, probably like no one else. Those kinds of engineers are great engineers, and I'm telling you, they don't talk to the enterprises or understand the technical challenge.
If you want to manufacture a car and you need a part, or you want to send a rocket to the moon, or you want to put a missile on your adversary's head and bring America home safely, that stuff doesn't ship.
And by the way, there is not a single high-end enterprise like that that would ever put that in place. That is before you even get to the cultural impasse."
