France’s domestic intelligence service is ending its contract with US AI company Palantir, Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu says. The Direction Générale de la Sécurité Intérieure (DGSI) decision reflects growing European concerns about reliance on American technology for sensitive uses. Reporting ties the move to broader changes affecting AI services: Washington is said to have reduced access for non-US users to Anthropic’s Fable model, raising questions for European partners about continuity and dependence on US-controlled platforms. In response, France is increasing investment in domestic AI capabilities. One report says Paris plans to add about $760 million in new public funding to develop French AI solutions. The measures described by the outlets indicate a shift toward homegrown or more controllable tools for intelligence work, while the specific operational details of the Palantir contract and the timeline for the transition are not provided in the sources.
