AI could make the rich far richer, Palantir CEO Alex Karp warns of growing wealth divide

The artificial intelligence boom may improve life for the average person, but the biggest financial rewards could flow to a small group of people already sitting at the top, according to Palantir CEO Alex Karp.

Karp has warned that AI could create a hugee divide between ordinary people and those building and controlling the technology, with the latter accumulating levels of wealth that were far less common during previous technological revolutions.

In an interview with Axel Springer CEO Mathias Dopfner, Karp called AI-driven wealth disparity the “biggest problem in this country.”
