France pivots to a homegrown AI backbone, dropping Palantir
France will replace Palantir’s AI data tools used by the DGSI with the French firm ChapsVision to avoid strategic dependency on foreign tech. The switch will take years, following a Palantir contract renewal in 2025, as Paris plans a €655m AI investment including a shared state chatbot and an Ameli health-insurance bot. Palantir says it will continue to support France as European leaders scrutinize US-controlled AI tools, and ChapsVision is also being adopted by Germany’s BfV as a foundation for public-sector data processing.
