In a recent interview, Alex Karp runs Palantir, a data analytics firm, steering its growth. He says AI could make a few high‑IQ people very rich, turning them into overnight billionaires, and reshape wealth patterns. On July 24, 2026 he called these people "odd IQ shapes you wouldn’t want to have over for dinner", a comment that drew eyebrows, that raised eyebrows, a societal risk. Karp says AI could also worsen the gap between the very rich and everyone else, deepening economic inequality, even as regulators watch, that seems to be speeding up. He thinks his own fortune might explode 20 times if Palantir’s AI bets pay off, a surge he envisions, though he admits uncertainty, indicating his bullish stance.
