The French government wants to free itself from American influence. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu announced on Tuesday morning that French firm ChapsVision has been chosen to replace US company Palantir in handling large-scale data processing for the General Directorate for Internal Security (DGSI).
"We cannot accept new strategic dependencies in the digital sphere", the prime minister argued, saying he wanted to "build real autonomy" so as "not to depend on the goodwill of certain partners, who are able to turn off the tap of access" to AI.
