Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Palantir is using face recognition technology in Gaza.
The finding
What the evidence shows
Israel's military does use mass face recognition in Gaza, and Palantir does supply Israel with data and AI software under a 2024 partnership. But reporting on the Gaza face recognition program, based on Israeli intelligence officers' accounts, says it runs on technology from the Israeli company Corsight AI plus Google Photos, and does not mention Palantir. We found no reporting that Palantir provides face recognition in Gaza, so the claim joins two separate facts into one that is not supported.
