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, 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 remark that sparked chatter, a description that many found unsettling, a looming threat. Karp says AI could also worsen the gap between the very rich and everyone else, widening the divide, 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 surge he envisions, though he admits uncertainty, indicating his bullish stance.
