France’s domestic intelligence agency (DGSI) is set to replace Palantir Technologies’ data-analysis tools with software from a French company, ChapsVision, Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu says. Lecornu announces the change in the context of a broader French effort to increase “sovereign” digital and artificial intelligence capabilities for state use. The government frames the switch as a move to reduce “strategic dependency” on foreign, including US-controlled, technology. According to the reports, Lecornu says France must rely on its own AI models and digital tools rather than systems developed by foreign powers. Bloomberg and other outlets report that DGSI plans to swap out Palantir’s capabilities with those from ChapsVision, positioning the replacement as part of Europe-wide concerns about dependence on US technology vendors. Euronews notes that the DGSI will ultimately use another provider for data analysis, pointing to ChapsVision as the domestic alternative identified by the prime minister. All accounts describe a decision announced by Lecornu and aimed at building greater autonomy in the digital sphere.
