Palantir CEO Alex Karp has said that artificial intelligence (AI) could shift economic influence away from highly educated voters who tend to support Democrats and toward vocationally trained, working-class men.
In an interview with CNBC, Karp discussed the broader societal impact of artificial intelligence and how it is expected to transform employment.
“This technology disrupts humanities-trained, largely Democratic voters, and makes their economic power less.”
“And increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, uh voters,” Karp said.
“So these disruptions are gonna disrupt every aspect of our society,” he said.
“To make this work, we have to come to an agreement of what it is we’re going to do with the technology; how are we gonna explain to people who are likely gonna have less good, and less interesting jobs.”

The data analytics and artificial intelligence company, which was founded by Trump backer Peter Thiel, builds platforms designed to analyze enormous datasets and is widely used by governments, intelligence agencies, and major corporations.
Palantir first gained prominence for its work with U.S. intelligence and defense agencies, including the CIA, the Department of Defense, and other national security bodies.
Its software has been used for counterterrorism analysis, military planning, and intelligence operations.
In recent years, the company has also expanded into commercial sectors, providing data and artificial intelligence platforms to companies in industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, finance, and energy.
However, Karp insisted that the technology still carries serious risks but that America must win the AI race against adversaries such as China.
“These technologies are dangerous societally,” Karp said.
“The only justification you could possibly have would be that if we don’t do it, our adversaries will do it,” he continued. “And we will be subject to their rule of law.”
“Why is it that we’re absorbing the risk of disrupting the very fabric of our society, including the most powerful parts of our society, if it’s not because it’s about maintaining our ability to be American in the near term and long term?” he said.
Karp has previously suggested America has empathy for everyone except for working-class white males.
