As part of a European push to curb reliance on United States technology companies, France's domestic intelligence service has dropped US giant Palantir in favor of French rival ChapsVision, said France's Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu on Tuesday.
The agency, the General Directorate for Internal Security, or DGSI, had worked with Palantir since 2016 and renewed the contract "temporarily" in December 2025, with the term set to run through 2028.
Lecornu described the switch to ChapsVision as part of a drive to bolster European technology sovereignty.
"We must build our own strategic autonomy," Lecornu said in a social media post. "In the same way that we would not transfer the national archives to California, we need to develop our own AI tools."
The prime minister said France must "not depend on the goodwill of certain partners, who are capable of turning off the access tap" for artificial intelligence.
