AI, Not Fear, Could Lift American Wages, Says Palantir CTO

Palantir chief technology officer Shyam Sankar argues that AI can raise American workers’ wages when deployed alongside the American workforce and domestic industry, warning that bans on data centers or unfounded fears could curb prosperity even as China’s manufacturing productivity outpaces the U.S. He points to progress in real-world applications (e.g., a submarine parts maker cutting production planning from two weeks to under an hour) and urges a national narrative that centers American workers to win the AI race across the full tech-to-industry stack.
