Palantir's Karp Urges U.S. to Keep Open AI Models, Rejecting Europe's Regulatory Template

Summary
Alex Karp said the Trump administration should not ban open-weight AI models and should avoid copying Europe’s stricter AI rulebook as Washington debates how to govern the technology.
Europe has "regulated itself out of business," Karp said, arguing hard rules can shut out companies while open models often work best for Palantir customers and can sometimes outperform frontier systems.
Customer frustration, not just China, is slowing adoption, he said, with some clients "token maxed" and worried AI vendors capture too much of the business value.
Karp backed regulation in principle but said the U.S. must strike a middle ground between Europe-style overregulation and no rules at all as officials weigh risks from Chinese open models built on U.S. technology.
