Verification History

Disputed The quote is authentic: the provided Senate PDF is a written statement dated December 6, 2023, attributed on its title page to Alexander C. Karp, and the principles section contains the supplied excerpt with an allowable omission. The stored date and source URL are correct, but the source’s canonical author attribution is Alexander C. Karp rather than Alex Karp. Palantir’s official leadership page identifies him as co-founder and CEO.

Disputed The source PDF is a written statement by Alexander C. Karp dated December 6, 2023. It contains the heading/sentence “Prioritize people, place humanity first,” and later the exact sentences “AI should empower workers, help safeguard consumers, and enhance national security. Ethical AI is also more effective AI.” But in the original, those lines are separated by additional text (“The north star for responsible AI innovation ... humanity at large.”). Because your version omits that intervening text without using an ellipsis, it is not verbatim as quoted, even though it is correctly attributable to Karp.

AI Verified Quote: "Prioritize people, place humanity first. AI should empower workers, help safeguard consumers, and enhance national security. Ethical AI is also more effective AI." attributed to Alex Karp (Palantir CEO), 2023, source_url = schumer.senate.gov PDF "Written Statement for AI Insight Forum: National Security, Alexander C. Karp". WebFetch on the PDF returned HTTP 403, but a web search confirmed the distinctive phrases "Prioritize people, place humanity first" (listed as his first principle) and "Ethical AI is also more effective AI" both appear in this exact statement, which also emphasizes designing AI to better humanity and empower rather than replace human decision-making, in a national-security context. Author attribution is correct (his own written statement). Vote alignment is correct: the quote strongly endorses responsible/ethical AI in a national-security/defense setting, which is FOR the statement "Promoting responsible use of AI in defense policy"; the recorded vote is "for". The year is 2023 (older but still relevant), so the opinion is kept and verified; I will separately look to add a recent Karp quote alongside it. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 9d ago
