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, giving them massive fortunes, 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 remark that sparked chatter, that raised eyebrows, a potential danger. Karp says AI could also worsen the gap between the very rich and everyone else, deepening economic inequality, with policy eyes on it, that appears to be growing faster. He thinks his own fortune might explode 20 times if Palantir’s AI bets pay off, a leap he predicts, though he admits uncertainty, indicating his bullish stance.
