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, shifting the economic landscape. 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, a description that many found unsettling, a potential danger. Karp says AI could also worsen the gap between the very rich and everyone else, widening the divide, even as regulators watch, that appears to be growing faster. He thinks his own fortune might explode 20 times if Palantir’s AI bets pay off, a potential windfall he anticipates, acknowledging risks, indicating his bullish stance.
