In an unprecedented fusion of corporate and military power, the US Army has commissioned OpenAI, Meta, and Palantir executives as officers in its new “Detachment 201.” These architects of commercial AI now shape battlefield algorithms as uniformed decision-makers, accelerating a dangerous monopoly over lethal technologies by unaccountable tech giants.
The Corporate Colonels: Who Commands “Detachment 201”
At te helm of this radical experiment stands Lieutenant Colonel Shyam Sankar, Palantir’s Chief Technology Officer. A Cornell computer science graduate who joined Palantir in 2008, Sankar engineered the Gotham and Foundry platforms that became the Pentagon’s operational backbone – processing targeting data for drone strikes and managing NATO logistics. His 2023 declaration that “algorithms must own the kill chain” foreshadowed his current role: as the highest-ranking officer in Detachment 201, he now integrates Palantir’s technology into next- generation weapons while his company profits from the contracts.
